GD: topic was “social entrepreneurship is an oxymoron”
As topic was comparatively difficult the discussion went silent in 40 minutes of specified time many times.
I entered the discussion late. Added 3 4 valuable points on which discussion was done and we were able to structure GD as per the specified format.
PI experience:
3 panelists, all male.
Would call them L M R.
I entered the room and greeted them.
L: showed my questionnaire and asked to find mistake in that.
Me: Asked if it’s grammatical error?
L:1 chance gone, 2 left.
I tried but couldn’t find any, then He told that everything is in CAPS
(I was like what a welcome)

Me: told
R: asked questions from questionnaire
Me: answered satisfactorily
R: Why are some people in Gujarat are not happy With Modi despite BJP having very strong presence in Gujarat.

Me: it will depend on application sir.
L: Decide based on just CO.
