How in 4 simple steps Shalini cracked the IIM-Ahemdabad, Bangalore, Calcutta MBA Group Discussion

Shalini was one of the typical Economics graduate from St Stephens College. Studious and softspoken she could hardly ever raise her voice much less have the courage to get into an argument with others. Having cracked the CAT she knew that being an MBA required more than high grades, it required effective communication skills.

Shalini adopted 4 simple steps to improve her communication technique for the MBA Group Discussion

(1)She would skim through economic dailies, as well as the free economic resources at mbainterview.in to obtain the latest economic topics and pick 3 keywords for each topic. For example after reading about SEZ in the newspaper she selected three words--- SEZ, Growth, Jobs

(2)Based on each of these 3 keywords she would make a 25 word phrase which sounded the most simple, persuasive and convincing viewpoint around that keyword.

(3)From those 3 keywords, Shalini would pick one keyword and use data in that phrase to sound intelligent yet uncomplicated. For example of the 3 keywords, she selected only the keyword “Jobs” and built into her phrase the data of potential jobs that would be created.

(4)She would then practise aloud in front of a mirror, timing her every keyword phrase so that all 3 keyword phrases were complete in 3 minutes.

Finally she kept repeating and refining the process for atleast 25 topics. When the actual GD came, Shalini managed to impress her GD panel within the 3 minutes of time allotted to her for introduction, not only that her points were so powerful that the entire GD participants kept discussing her viewpoints, indirectly making her the leader of the GD.
