Pratiksha Singhi: “General (No reservation).”

Describe the general setting of WAT / GD (if any)?

Pratiksha Singhi: “In IMT we had a Group Activity instead of Group Discussion. The process was held offline with 12 members in the group. Each member had to contribute to the activity and the panelist was observing the candidates. The candidates were judged on their ability to work in a team and also the results of the activity presented by the members of the group. We were given 25 minutes to complete the activity and also present the results. The Pro-tip for this activity is to be calm and make sure to help others while conducting the activities.”

What was the WAT / GD Topic?

Pratiksha Singhi: “For the group activity we were given a case study which we have to solve on two chart papers given and we were also provided with various sketch pens and crayons.

Mention 3 reasons why you chose this college over other colleges which you converted.

Pratiksha Singhi: “The first reason is that the placement of this college is better than the colleges which are in the same level. Secondly, the flagship course for this college is marketing in which I aspired to specialize. Thirdly, the campus is a 27-acre lush green campus and the social life over there is unmatchable.”

What was the reason for you not converting other colleges? (if any)

Pratiksha Singhi: “I converted many colleges like KJ Somaiya and NMIMS Bangalore but for some, I left because IMT Nagpur was better and some I could not join because I did not have money to pay at that moment. Other colleges require fees for one year and IMT Nagpur is the only college which asks for fees for one term instead of one year.”
