Candidates should start preparing for GD & Personal Interview simultaneously along with CAT Preparation. This will help them to steer clear from the last-minute preparation stress. To prepare for GD-PI process, I use to read newspapers, especially the editorial section. This helped me understand how and what kind of opinions to form about the current happenings and scenarios that is happening in India and across the world. In addition, I also gave regular mock GDs and discussed various topics related to current affairs with peers and that also helped me to prepare for my interviews.
