1. First Round
Event: A theoritical/practical problem is given and it can be technical or general topic.
And a casual discussion has to be done by all the team members to get a final conclusion on
that topic. Any individual can contradict the total group decision with proper reasons.
Time: 30 mins (5 mins for Individual Thinking + 25 mins for Group Discussion)
Judgement On: How you think and represent your ideas, solidity of reasons you tell, telling your
point at the same time allowing others to tell, how close you are to the group.
My Experience: Our total group understood the problem in a wrong way so total discussion went
in wrong direction so judges warned us not to do that in next round.
2. Second Round
Event: A passage is given on a specific topic and a list of 10 points are given in a zig-zag way and
all of them are related to the passage but we need to order them which is most aim of the
topic by giving them preferences 1, 2, 3...10.
Time: 30 mins (5 mins for Individual Thinking + 25 mins for Group Discussion)
Judgement On: How close is an individual's preferences to the total group preferences and if
contradicting then how much successful to bring total group his/her side.
My Experience: All the 7 members stood on one point and I alone stood on a different point. It was
like a fish market and initially nobody was listening to nobody but at the end they
came to one point. Actually the topic was Make in India and we were given 10
options to tell which is most aim of this programme? All the members told that It
is for employment generation in India but I told It is mainly for the Economy
development of India and I continued contradicting the total group till the
time is over by giving proper reasons but failed to bring them to correct path
within the time.
3. Third Round
Event: A list of trusts and their background is given. SAIL is willing to donate Rs. 5 crores to one
of these trusts. Which trust you prefer and why?
Time: 30 mins (5 mins for Individual Thinking + 25 mins for Group Discussion)
Judgement On: How close is an individual's thinking to the total group thinking and if
contradicting then how much successful to bring total group his/her side.
My Experience: Initially different poeple supported different trusts but at the end all of them came
to a consensus and supported a single trust. But I felt their reasons unsatisfactory
and hence I supported a different trust as I felt strong reasons towards that trust..
Finally the judges seemed satisfied with my points than that of the group.
