HERE IS MY CET GD EXPERIENCE- 2009

It was 25^th Monday and I actually forgot about the fact that I was supposed to go for gdpi today unless one of my family member happened to ask me ‘when is ur gdpi?’

DATE: 25^th May

TIME: 4-5 pm

VENUE: JBIMS

I reached the centre at 3.45 pm (but I would suggest you guys to reach atleat 30 mins before time). As soon as I reached there I showed my hall ticket and the female registered my name. I was given two similar forms by her, I thought she did a mistake, But after few minutes I realized that I was supposed to fill both of them. It was new as last year I had filled only one form.

I was filling my first form and was just half way through that I was called for my GD. Roll no wise every1 entered the room and got seated. But I do not know y we were sitting in wrong places even after following the instructions so the panel inside called us roll no wise again and rearranged our places. It was actually funny.

One of the panellist opened a sealed envelope and gave us two topics and asked us to choose one topic. “Indian women compared to women of other nations.” And I do not remember other topic.

Well we were given 2 mins to jot down points. 2 mins were over but the panel didn’t ask us to start. I was ready so I looked around, I looked at a guy and he also seemed ready, so I smartly asked him to start without sayin a word. What he did was funny, he asked the panel if he could start and as expected by me panel immediately refused and asked him to wait. It was just 30-40 seconds later the panel asked us to start.

Discussion started, 2-3 guys pitched in ,I think I was 3-4 one to speak and I spoke for the first time in 2 mins of time. This is important as u need to enter the GD at every stage by keeping the time. Like if it is 10 min GD make sure u speak in first 2 min, then in nxt 3 mins and then twice in last 5 mins.

As discussion went along, I realized that I am in the right place at right time. People around me were seriously dumb they went emotional, someone spoke in hindi and no one gave facts and figures initially. I jumped in by throwing some light on history like sati pratha, dowry and still women as housewives.

Then I went on to compare women all over the world with Indian women, described Indian women in corporate world, example of shakti, Indian women in space. Then reservation of women in parliament. On flip side I also talked about mangalore incident, Juhu beach last year, etc.

Once I thought people were just repeating the points and some dumb’s were getting emotional about the topicand I in very short summarized what we had discussed till now and then Asked them to come up with solution in order to solve the problem.

At last panel asked us to summarize the topic, I took the initiative and summarized it well. All in all a good GD and my gamble of taking a Monday and first day helped me as candidates around me were seriously dumb. It would have been so because firstly any experienced or a working candidate would not come on working day, so a big intelligent lot is excluded and moreover all intelligent people want to listen first from others about this years GDPI and then go for GD.
