Group Discussion:

There were 10 members in each group. 
1,2 or 3 were selected from each group.sometimes not even one was 
selected. 
My GD topic was "should beauty contest be banned in India". 
Initially i spoke in favour of the beauty contest some colleges 
against it.After some time 
we were asked,like those who spoke in favour of beauty contest were 
asked to speak against it and vice versa. 
only one was selected in our group.i did well but i don't know why i 
got missed out. 
They look for good communication skill,how we work in a group and 
also how good points we putforth.
