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: In democracy no one is accepted ubiquitously and people have their personal reasons. Justified with example of my grandmother.

L: I want to pass CO in a line, which valve will you use?

Me: it will depend on application sir.

L: Decide based on just CO.

Me: told one such incident related to my final year project.

M: how did you decide you was successful?

Me: based on my scores.
