NITIE.....Dho Dala !!!

After the comparatively disappointing day with IIM L yesterday I was eager to show the improvements and NITIE was good stage before the 2 big encounters with B and C.
So here are my experiences with the NITIE….

Process:

I reached at NITIE between 8-8.30 am for the registration. Then we were asked to assemble in the Auditorium for the presentation on NITIE and it’s activities.
HATS off to the IMPACT team for such a good presentation and also overall support during the entire procedure.

Then we were called for the documents verification and then group for the GD is formed there.
There were 12 people in the group.

Rules of the Game

The topic displayed on the laptop kept in front of us.
2 mins to think and 18 mins to discuss and last 2 mins for group to conclude.

Topic :

The skills learnt from the management subjects will not match that learnt from the actual experience.

I was sitting in the middle so good position to get command over the group.
I put some very good points and also earned good reputation from the group members.
I was at my best today !!!! So GD was cakewalk for me.
