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

Harshitha M: “We had three rounds of interviews i.e., GD, WAT, and Personal Interview. The interview happened on campus. The group consisted of 9 members. The first round of WAT started. 5 topics were given and we were asked to choose any one among them. The topics were like online education benefits, One memorable day in life, Favorite cricket player, Social media boon or bane, Goal in life. A duration of 15 mins was given. Once after the completion of WAT, we were called for a group discussion. We had to discuss the topic, Actors entering politics. Two moderators were present. The GD went on very smoothly. Each and every person was given a chance to talk. One minute of preparation time was given before starting the discussion. It would be easier for students if they are updated on current issues and it was said that more points for students who initiate the discussion. So it would be a benefit for students who start the discussion.”
