you dont need to worry about the moderator thing dude.
our invigilators said about the job you need to do when u are given that bell.
It only means you need to avoid a fish market if it happens and make sure people are not deviating from the topic or arguing in small factions.
In my group there were only 2 exp people with rest being freshers
Questions to freshers was mostly on their hobbies and interests. Some were asked definitions of liquidity , inflation , CRR etc. Some were asked about their states and stuff. some academic stuffs like differentiation , integration and differential equations were asked too. But most were of the opinion that it was a chilled out interview. Be ready for the Why MBA question though.
thanku so much dude.........
MY GDPI Experience: (First of Its Kind)
Date : 01.02.12
Venue : IIFT Kolkata (Took sometime to locate it)
Time : 08:30 PM
35/37 present.
After we assembled in the conference hall, Some seniors came and gave some presentations about IIFT.
Essay writing started at 09:30 - 09:50
Topic: Exploring Indian Tourism Potential : Strategic Options
Wrote a page and half. wrote about evrything i cud, and yes, my valuable suggestions to the government :P
GD: Targeted Vs Universal Food Security in India 10:05 - 10:45
evry1 was to talk for 2 mins in the begining, i dont think i completed the given time but it was ok.
then it was open to evry1, i pitched in for some 4, 5 times. gave some views (way out of topic , evry1 feels the same thing after the GD). the moderator kept on changing the position of the bell from person to person but no1 used it 😛
overall it was a gud 1, no fish markt stuff
PI: (12:30 - 12:45)
Once again, had to wait for some considerable time listening to seniors.

my *weird* PI experience :-/
Centre: lucknow
I was the last one to be interviewed in a group of 12.
As usual there were 3 interviewers , lets call them
P1(old prof , asked about 95% of the questions)
P2(another older prof who kept quiet except asking me 1 question in the end)
P3 ( a lady, again , asked me just 1 question)
As i entered the room i made a stupid mistake :-/ wished them good morning ( it was 2PM) ,P2 replied ''good afternoon '' :splat:
P1(was all smiles and i really have no idea why : ) : so you must be knowing what we asked the last 2 guys as they were from your college(yup i had 2 people from my batch 😃 )
Yours truly (yt) : yes sir , they told me that you're questioning them on acads
P1 : so can I ask you the same questions
yt: sir he was a food technologist but i am a chemical engg so our courses were different
P1 : oh good , you're a chemical engg.
now here's the weird part .... all the questions i was asked were basic 10th level chemistry questions , except 1 maybe 😞 as if they already thought that this girl is a goner is se kya puchna :-/
P1 : whats the diff b/w organic and inorganic chem
yt : told
P1: so ethylene comes under what

P1: okay good , why do you want to go for management that's not your passion(khud se hi assume kar lia )
yt: incident bataya , fest organise karaya tha , tab se lagne laga ki i have management skills

yt: no ma'am , I initiated the GD but since many people were speaking at the same time , I ensured that I only spoke when i had a valid point .Infact when i spoke , everyone was listening to me , and that's what i was aiming for.
