We hope all of you are benefiting from our online GDs and taking home some valuable tips to apply them in the real time GDs that are soon to follow for most call-getters! You can go through all the topics in the series over here.. You can share your views on the topic in the comments section.. (All the comments/views in the discussion are being rated on a scale of 10 by our experts, along with an explanation)

'Clichés are clichés because they work' and the more clichéd a topic seems, the greater the scope of driving the discussion to your advantage. So, all potential b-school grads, tell us if you think otherwise - because an MBA is definitely necessary to become a successful manager. Or is it?

This is how it will work : 1) Users can post their arguments or views using their Twitter/Wordpress/OpenID accounts in the comments section below. 2) You can argue and counter-argue on the topic for the entire week. 3) The thread will be moderated by Prerna Lalwani a.k.a Peru to ensure the discussion is kept relevant and is not abusive. 4) On Saturday, experts and industry professionals at InsideIIM (all ex-IIM,XLRI,ISB only) will rate each argument on the thread on the scale of 10 with some guidance. This cannot replace the experience of the actual GD but this exercise will surely help you shape your line of thought. While we may not be able to help you here with your delivery, we ensure that if you go through these next few weeks with us on this thread you will markedly improve your content. Hopefully, there will be more substance when you actually speak in a GD after going through this exercise.   You can go through all the topics in the series over here
