Hey all.
Had my SCMHRD GD at Pune 2day. Got shortlisted for PI.
. PI to be held 2moro morning.
Well actually not a GD, we had a case study and a VIDEO CLIP exercise.
Panel of 2. (cool, young, casually dressed working professionals, unlike the usual scenario !!) 
The case study was regarding a business school where the 2 departments - Management & Accounting, are facing a rift between them, bcoz 1 department earns more revenue (through research activities), and the HOD's of both departments keep passing snide remarks on each other !! The situation worsens to such an exent that, the 2 HOD's start expressing their derision in front of the students.
We, as a group, had to dicuss what the dean of the college should do to make things better. We had a good discussion 4 about 15 minutes and suggested various solutions. I had 4-5 decent entries.:)
Then the next activity, and a very pleasant one !!
An exercise based on video clips wherein we had to come on a consensus regarding who, out of the characters in the clippings, would make the best SALESMAN !
Clip 1 - From the movie Patch Adams, where the doctor tries to liven up his patient by dressing up as various characters, and providing some humour in the boring life of the patient.
Clip 2 - From the movie Sound Of Music where Marie, the governess, deals with some children who are boistrous, and not very friendly towards her.
Clip 3 - Shahrukh Khan !! DDLJ !! Where he tries to win hearts of various people he meets at his friend's wedding, and how he changes his ways of interaction, with different people.
No marks for guessing that the group zeroed in on the baadshah and came to a healthy consensus in about 15 minutes.
Then we moved in to the waiting room, waiting for the results to be announced.
Finally, they announced, and I had made it !!
Then the selected candidates moved to another room for ESSAY writing. Topic - " Be a man of action in your thoughts, Be a man of thought in your actions. "
Then, another long wait, for documents/credentials/marksheets verification.
We then got our PI schedules, and that was it.
Overall perception- Very well managed and systematic process. Very Helpful seniors.
Groups of 8/9. And no fixed number of candidates to be shortlisted. 2, 4, 5, 6 and ZERO were the number of people shortlisted from various groups today. (There were many, many more groups, but I happened to interact with various people from different groups and this is what I came to know.)
All the best to all.

2. the second where in GODFATHER don corleone is talking with johnny about getting him a role in a movie
