GD and WAT were on the same topic. We had a GD followed by the WAT. The topic was “E-Learning can substitute classroom learning”. There were 11 members in our panel (1 was absent). At times, the discussion was getting intense, but we managed to come out with a number of valid points. The GD lasted for 12 minutes. It was followed by a WAT for 10 minutes. I managed to write about both the sides, the pros and cons, and later justified them.
