The d day finally arrived. Our group started late as the previous group had overshot their time. Two very nice professors led us into the room d-1. As the group of nervous candidates took their seats, we were given the rules for our WAT and GD. The topic was 'the ladies in T.V. soaps and serials are stereotyped and traditional. Should this trend be changed? Your views.'
Wrote the essay for approx 3/5. Gd on the same topic. Gave 2-3 points. Well behaved. Everyone spoke for an equal amount of time. We were then asked to summarize in a random order. I was 9th to summarize.
Then the longest wait ever started. Each interview lasted for an average of approx twenty minutes. Was getting mixed reviews. Finally, i went into the room.
