How to make group discussions your cup of coffee!

With CAT/XAT 2014 results just around the corner, the anticipation and impatience amongst the aspirants is sky high. And, why wouldn’t it be?  After all, they are considered to be the most coveted yet capricious entrance exams of all. However, one should not forget that clearing the written exams with flying colours is just the stepping stone and the dream of getting into a prestigious B-School of the country is still a faint sight. The most important and often a nightmarish one for many, is the Group Discussion round. Although most of the sought-after IIMs of our country have done away with GDs and replaced them with the Written Ability Tests, other equally respected B-Schools still retain the conventional GD round. It is one’s performance in this round that usually singles the ‘eventually-selected’ candidates out who steal the thunder from the rest. It is this round that decides the fate of most of the candidates.
