B-School Interview process is knocking at your doorstep where you have to compete with thousands of students to secure the seat in your dream B-school. The WAT-PI is the thing that you currently need to prepare for. This time the process is being conducted in Online mode, so your non-verbal expression will not be visible, so you have to present your A-game in this process, and this can be done through in-depth content analysis on various topics. Across all these shortlisting rounds, the one thing that stays common is your way of dealing with current affairs. After my last article on "Why Are Current Affairs Asked In The WAT-PI Process?", I received many messages to compile and share a list of the top 50 current affairs topics. After going through the news from March 2020 to March 2021, I have mentioned the current affairs that might be asked in Personal interviews or Group Discussions.

Here is the list:
