- Better have a look at the previous 1998 qn paper, from that we got many questions.

- strong analytical geometric and mensurational skills needed.

Computer Awareness

- Simply like find odd man out and 10 qns regarding 2 pseudocodes given



Time Constraint was the big thing, u cannot complete the paper if u solve all the qns, its not needed also, they're just seeing the relative mark, in our college from 150 , 29 were shortlisted for GD and from it 12 were shortlisted for Interview, i missed out in GD.

Topics were War on Iraq, Leaders Born or Made



Try to assess ur group in GD, if u think its of to be an debating group, pls don't follow GD rules, and create ur oppurtunities for speaking as raising ur tone, intervening the conversation going on, 'its pretty sure that u'll be going off the GD rules, but it was the case in our group", i followed GD rules and i missed it out.
