Mayur.

Document formalities done by 10am.

GD Begins. Introduction given by the panel members and topic – 

“Women make better bosses than men”

First round began and I put my point for gender equality with emphasis on how women are on par with men so its not a contest but a scenario where each person has potentials and we have to give best.

Second round people were busy cutting each other in debates. By the time I could speak up, the panel concluded that they are taking off and if we wish we continue the discussion. I missed the chance in round 2

M1: Good to know that

M1: In what did you do your engineering?

Me: E&TC engineering

M2: What is difference between electrical and electronics and how do you perceive it?

M2: Are you sure about it?

Me: Sir that is how I perceive it

M1: Tell me about the spectrums which is in news

Me: Sir, the government is called for bidding for spectrum allocations and this has been in news since past 3 years due to the 2G scam and now the TRAI has called for new allocations and the highest bidder gets the spectrum allocations

M1: What role do you think you can do as a banker

Me: Sir I can provide loans for the social sector appreciation as well as economy .For instance, providing loans to sanitary missions, education,agriculture. Priority sector lending is already in place where we can boost the Agricultural sector, Manufacturing sector by giving loans to MSMEs .We can help people stand on their feet.
