Chakra Vyuh Bhedna, The Only Answer To How To Crack Group Discussions!

3 mins read

The placement drive was conducted virtually, due to the pandemic. And to add to the difficulty level, more than 200 students participated in the drive. The selection process consisted of an online test that included an aptitude and technical questions, which was followed by a group discussion. Both were elimination rounds. The shortlisted students were then called for the final round, the personal interview.

All about cracking group discussions and interviews

My strategy was to be attentive in the pre-placement talks by asking questions to them and even trying to answer their questions. This helped me to boost my self-confidence and made me perform well during the Group Discussion. For cracking group discussions, I practiced a simple and powerful technique called Chakra Vyuh Bhedna. It's a complete weapon to crack any GD. This technique has 4 parts. 

1. Awareness of the topic
2. Understanding PESTLE (Political, Economical, Social, Technical, Legal, and Environmental) factors related to the topic
3. Listening to what others are saying 
4. Making a garland of flowers and beautifully concluding the topic 

Also, for GD, I downloaded and studied more than 50 reports including monthly reports of KPMG, McKinsey, Deloitte, CBRE, etc. related to infrastructure, crisis, and the economy.

For the interview, believe me, mocks and self-preparation helped me a lot. Moreover, self-awareness played a key role in nailing personal interviews apart from learning everything about the profile and the company. Because of this, I not only cleared the interview but even topped the merit list.

Making it into the Expressway company

APCO Infratech is a mid-sized company that recently bagged 8 Expressway projects. It's also known as Expressway company. My dream profile has always been Project Management. And I am lucky enough to fetch the profile of Management Trainee which will be followed by the profile of Assistant Manager in Contracts, Planning, and Project Management at APCO Infratech. The team here is really good in management, knowledge, resources, and focus on learning aspects. The senior management has strong character and expertise in the infrastructure field.
