GD
The GD group is chosen by random.. So u'll find ur self among strangers. I'll advise u to familiarise urselves in the 10-15 minutes u get before u enter the room. Actually there are groups of 10 people each. And most of them were not speaking much. Ours was more calm and peaceful group. All of us were for the topic and 4 of us got thru. Don't worry cause 3/4 of those who didn't..were too shy to speak..So almost all who spoke freely & made valid points got thru.
Our topic was does private colleges give better education than govt colleges ?
some other topics were, mobile ph. ban on colleges, dresscode at job, reverse brain drain etc. but ur not given choices..the moderator gives u one.
they selected 94 out of 220 for technicals. I cleared this one also.
Technical
It was quite hard. They had only few ppl to choose and had whole day left so each persons interview lasted for 40 mins. If ur from mechanical background be prepared to answer question s on C language. And some hr questions like whts use of mechanical engineers for us..etc
Out of 94 only 55 got thru
