What is asked in critical thinking and GE at IMT Ghaziabad?
IMT Ghaziabad shortlists students based on their cumulative weighted average of academic scores, work experience (if any), and score obtained in CT-GE-PI, i.e. Critical Thinking-Group Excercise-Personal Interview.
From a few years back, IMT Ghaziabad adopted a slightly different approach regarding its selection procedure. Here is a brief insight into it.
Critical Thinking:
The process starts with the critical thinking step. You will be given a topic, which is socially relevant and debatable. You will need to present your argument for or against it. This test aims to evaluate critical thinking, creativity, and written communication skills.
You may get a topic like - ‘National Anthem in cinema hall is not a real test of patriotism’.
Group Excercise:
In this exercise, you will be divided into small groups. Each group is given a problem to solve or a task to perform. You need to perform the exercise by discussing it with your group members. They often provide props or kits for the task.
Example - Your group can be asked about the Govt. of India to design a new INR 1000 rupee currency note that would come into circulation later. Design the currency note by discussing your ideas. The various elements of design for the new currency note should have the contributions of each person.
GE aims to evaluate innovative thinking, leadership potential, interpersonal skills, communication, attitude.
The next step in the selection process is the personal interview. In the PI round, students are evaluated on their academics, versatility, communication skills, as well as values, and maturity.
