Student 1:

GDPI date: 1st june 2010
GDPI scheduled: 2:00 pm
Reporting time: 1:00 pm

I reached the college by 12:30. There i was told to wait until 1:00. AT 1:00, the students were told to stand in a queue and register themselves for the gdpi and get their exact timetable(which group and which panel and the timings etc etc) for the gdpi.

I got the following timings:

2:15 - Essay Writing (15 mins time 200 words essay)
(Topic - Management Institute of my dream)

3:15 - Group Discussion( topic - Oldage homes are now become necessary in today's Indian context. My gd was just fine, not great. Had 2 very strong speakers who kept on intervening each other, but the good point was that the panel asked each one of us to present their views at the end so that everyone got a chance to speak)

3:45 - Personal Interview(2 PI panels in their middle ages. Gave me a warm welcome. The only difference in this PI round from other PI's was that, here, the PI panel emphasized a lot on academics and how much i recollected my previous acads, to which i had no answer. Brushed up my physics knowledge and part of mathematics (for example, by asking me to tell the method for finding squareroot of 10). Also asked me from my graduation background, asked about my aim, what i would be after 5 years, about my hobbies, and also about recent news.)

4:15 - Document verification( Here, we had to just verify our original documents of 10th, 12th and graduation(and also if anybody has secured prizes at national/state/university level, then those certificates, and work-ex, as the profile of the candidate says). All this just took some time and it was smooth.
