Don't go by the cut-offs.a good institute,faculty and placement is to be seen in this regard
any one whose gd pi date is 27 feb in ranchi.
Earlier my g.d date was on 25 but my cmat was thr.
is any one knows how are the placements at XISS ....on website they have mentioned a lot....but even no senior is helping us on the thread......seniors please come from your magical burrow....please help us in knowing more about this institute....:)
we need some of the seniors here to help us in our last minute preparations. can you get some of them here???
This thread discusses everything except the GD/PI

puys, do the gd topics at xiss are only subjective in nature or abstract too???
i mean, are the topics mainly related with the society, politics, economy and other global agendas????
i had an opportunity to participate in mock GDs which dealt mainly with abstract ones. I am sharing some of them :
1.Green is the new Blue
2.pink flag in blue world
3.if pictures could fly
4.umeedo wali dhoop, sunshine waali aasha
There were some more topics which i don't remember.
puys do share your valuable experiences and last minute tips, if any

1.green is the new blue : main idea of the topic was that "change is evident everywhere and everyone has adopted to all these changes". Everyone connected with it in their own way!!! some said about technological advancement leading to greener technologies.
some said about the changing moral values in the society and how people in society has received it.
there were views about political scenario, that earlier leaders used to work for the social causes and now individual gain is the main motive.how people manipulate power for their own profit and none of us have the time or courage to object to it.
indian economy in this context was also discussed that how it has changed its path from 'license raj' to 'FDI'.
2.pink flag in blue world : main idea was 'to stand out distinctively from the crowd (in positive sense ofcourse !!)'.
in this case also no common point of view was present but the connection to the topic was made on the similar lines as in the first case
Sadly, the instructor didn't provided us with ideas about how to interpret such topics.

Hope this helps.
I request as well as others too to provide your inputs so that we get a better hold and idea about such topics.
but still get in touch with current affairs, what's happening in the business world and the economy (indian and global). get some content on indian judicial system and make your own ideas about the same(because a lot happened, like afzal and kasab's hanging, delhi gang rape, scams worth crores of rupee to name a few).

there is never anything like thinking too much on any line.we just need to come up with logical ideas.it will be nice if you share your points regarding the other two topics.
i was short of ideas on 'ummedo wali dhoop....'

we were told that the moderator might interrupt you in between and ask you to contradict your own points !!!! so be prepared for everything.Anything.
