How to use Economic News For IIM MBA GD-PI Topics

One of the crucial aspects of preparation for the IIM GD/PI round of admission
test is a good understanding of the economy.

Now you only need to know whats happening in the economy and dont have to be
an expert at economics which is a separate field of study itself, unless you are
a Commerce or Economics graduate. The most burning issue facing non Commerce candidates
such as engineers and arts graduates is understanding the basic information of the
economy. Here are some tips that may help.

1) Break down the economy: Prepare smart- that's the key. First break down the
economy into its components. You can start by focussing on 15 topics - Construction,
Exports, Foreign Exchange, Agriculture, etc...identify 3 topics from each 15 to
get started

2) Don't immediately read the Editorial section: Most people choose to start
by going into the heavy duty editorial section. That is best for those who have
been following the issue for some time and already have a good idea of the issue.
Start with your 45 chosen topics and skim through the newspapers to identify the
3 most latest news related to that topics

3) Now you have 135 pieces of information on specific areas of the economy. Now
all you need to do is prepare these 135 pieces of information and get a group of
5 people to conduct mock GD and Personal interviews. Ask your mom or dad to supervise
to make it serious and add that element of pressure to perform well

Through repetition you will hone your skills and be able to remember the topics
that you have selected without having to keep written notes. Do remember to practice
as that will drive down that information to long term memory.

Strong preparation is the key to success in the

IIM Group Discussion and Personal Interview , get started and you will gain
the confidence on a vast number of
