What kind of topics can we expect for GD and WAT in a b-school admission process?

Being a CAT trainer for the last 15 years, let me start by saying, that it is practically impossible to prepare for the Group Discussion, in the true sense of the word. Any topic can be given including abstract one's. Look at things from the perspective of the B Schools. They know the mindset of students. I have seen students getting obsessed with current political, economic and social scenarios, only to find themselves on the wrong side of the table. You should be in the know how of things, but ensure that you keep a calm and composed temperament. As far as WAT is concerned, most B Schools give a case study. This can be an individual or a group activity

Hi G, Siddhatha, I would Like to tell you that the Motto of GD is to analyse the capability of a candidate on following factors :- 1. how is his/her Communication? 2. How he reacts in a team? 3. is he able to put his Point and justify his views? 4. is he a Follower or a Leader? 5. if he has disagreement then does he able to say the same and then prove it with valid Points. So Your Concentration should be on Above Factors, However Ofcourse Content is also Important but it has no limits, For that Keep Reading News Papers, Watch News Channels, Surf Net that it. Good Luck!

Hi G.Siddhartha, In most of the B-schools GDs are held on current topics related to sports, economics, business etc., so you need to be aware of all the latest current affairs, for this you should read newspapers and magazines. Hope it helps. Please feel free to revert. Click on the thumbs up or mark it as the best, if you found this useful. Wish You Luck!
