  2. i got a topic as..

  3. 3rd June, 10am.
    Dalmia PG selection process for very smooth and well coordinated...they also gave us Food coupons worth 80rs, only bad thing was climbing 6 floors as GDs,PIs,Essat writing and Documents verification is done on the 6th floor. Applicants can wait for their turns in a nice A/C auditorium, this helps dry up your sweat..really helpful in such a hot weather.

    Now serious stuff:
    GD topic: Would world be a better place without plastic? Panels ensured the participants are comfortable. They give 1 topic, 3 mins to think and then ask you to start,15 mins of discussion and 20 sec each for summarizing. Descent participation by the participants unlike CET.

    Essay writing: topic was "My college"...others had topic like, "My favorite book"..so all general topics, no GK required, all school time topics. 15 mins and max 200 words.

    PI: There are 5 panels, Panel 5 is the worst, Panel 4 is mildest and Panel 1, where i went is too good if for marketing, as The Director PL.Arya(Finance head) and one HR prof. sit there, so just basic questions on Mktg fundas like Product life cycle,Ps..but for Finance guys, it was a nightmare, be very very very clear about finance concepts if you get Panel 1.

    One imp. thing, all the volunteers there are current PG students, so they have gone thru the same panels and process last year, they are very helpful and tell you everything that which panel asks what kind of questions and bla bla bla..so make the most out of them..

    I know, i have written lot of gyan, as i was expecting the same before my GD/PI, so hope this helps..if more questions, post here..ill surely reply.

    Best wishes
    Rohit Srimal

  5. hello aspirants...i would like to share my gdpi experience with u all...well my gdpi session was held on june 4 at 2 pm in the afternoon...even if one is tensed amd nervous about gdpi and misses on the meal then theres no problem as they have a systematic arrangement for lunch and snacks..half hour before the time alloted to u the people in charge will call all the students to allot te the timings of ur procedure..te gdpi session of approximately 2 hrs..everything is managed systematically by the college and i was impressed..
    (1)i opened my innings with pi..there are 2 panelist and i had the opportunity to meet the director of the college..well they go thru the form and asked questions as per the details one has filled in the form...i was asked related to my academics in commerce...mind u guys u need to b thorough with ur academics..they also ask questions relating to general knowledge as in whos the secretary of UN..thn they asked me abt how u c urself in the future...it was followd by a case study and i was asked to answer on having the information provided..it all depends on what they want to know from u.also expect questions from politics..in short u need to b prepared from all sides..
    (2) essay writing is simple as the topic itself is simple..
    (3)expect a good and healthy group discussion and also i wod like u all to keep in mind that examples and facts matter a lot...and it is followd by 30 seconds conclusion by all students..

    all the best...

  6. Hi I am Prerna.
    I had GD PI in Dalmiya on 7th. My Gd topic was- "Arrange marriages are more successful than love marriages" and essay writing topic was "why i love my country India".
    In PI i was asked to tell about myself, few questions on my academics and extra curricular activities.
    The process was the same as described by the students above.

  7. Hi,
    I am Amirtha Sundaram.
    My GDPI was on 7th

    Essay (15 min)
    topic-Autobiography of an unknown soldier/martyr

    GD (15 min discussion,3 min to think,30 seconds summary)

    topic-Daughters are more caring than sons
    we were 10 people in the group.

    The discussion was a fish market in my case.We were warned by the panel.After the warning it went a bit smooth,but still the topic was out of direction.It became boys v/s girls instead of sons v/s daughters.



    PI
    Difference between Fund flow and Cash flow.
    Name a few Current assets.
    Exemptions allowed for individual under income tax.
    Chief justice of India
    Chief minister of Maharashtra
    Chief minister of Tamil Nadu
    Governor of Maharashtra
    Name of Karunanidi's son who is in politics and the rivalry between DMK and ADMK in Tamil Nadu(My native is Tamil Nadu)

    PI Questions are more on stress/Psychology questions

  8. Hi All,

    I had my Gdpi on 05Jun10.

    Essay topic was my favourate Hangout.
    15 minutes for the essay.

    GD topic was should there be reservations for Womens in all the sections of society.
    We were Group of Nine. We were given 2 min to write down the points, 10 minutes for discussion and every one of us was asked to summarise the GD in 30Sec.

    For PI Dalmiya gives more importance for ACADs and General Knowledge.

    Hope this would help. All the Best!!!

  9. Hello people,
    i have reaped the benefit from this post so now its my duty to payback.
    here is wat u want to listen
    My Gd,Pi,Essay was on 07th of June.
    All in all a good experience at least better than CEt
    Our Gd topic was "Arrange Marriage V/S Love Marriage"trust me sounds very easy and apparently it is very easy.Ha.Ha
    PI-Panel 1 people say is very strict but i think they were the best i could get
    as i am from commerce background.
    1st question which sub do u like,
    then they will ask a few questions around the same,
    then in the end they will ask a few questions on current affairs
    essay writing is the simplest my topic was "Life in a village"
    ask questions to the volunteers they are very helpful and tell u about wat questions u can expect which will boost ur morale.
    to conclude i would say just be confident and it will cover your mistakes.
    Cheers!
