We at MBA Guru believe that if your years in school were bad or boring then here is yet another chance for you to still educate yourself and with this aim of helping students reach out and beyond, we pass on the wisdom, energy and inspiration of people at MBA Guru to thousands of MBA aspirants!

This time, we met up with around 100 students brewing dreams for the world of business management at the Technia College of Advanced Studies. Fundamentals of an effective Group Discussion were shared by Ms. Tanya Agarwal (International GMAT Expert).

Students were made aware of the practicability of group discussions i.e dealing effectively with groups of people is a skill that will serve us in all areas of our lives.  It can also be a challenge- because people as individuals tend to have their own ideas about how they relate to a group, and not all of these ideas work very well in practice.  Therefore, given an environment where each person has a self motive to serve it may be very difficult to make a meaningful and collaborative presence.  At the same time, with regular and guided practice, one can learn to organize one’s thought, give them a logical construction and master all means of communication in a group – be it putting forth their ideas cohesively, having an impressive body language or even displaying good listening skills.

Another important part that was revealed to students during this session was that it doesn’t help if you shout at the top of your voice and speak at great length, what matters most is what you speak and how it creates an impact on the group as well as the evaluators.

As is our practice, at MBA Guru we don’t tell students what to do and what not to because we feel they may forget, however we Involve them because that is the best way to make them understand. Energy was visible when ten students volunteered to participate in a mock Group Discussion. All the ten students were given personalized feedback on their performance during the group discussion. And once the ice was broken there were many other students who wanted to try their luck at their first mock GD. And as usual we ran out of time; however students got into a rush to register for a mock GD session at the nearest MBA Guru centre.

As a followup a session on Personal Interviews, was held and it rocked with more than 80 students present. The session was conducted by Mr. Abhishek Sharma from IIM Indore, and covered the PI basics and few advanced stages. Since all Technia Students would be sitting for placements soon or appearing for higher education exams, the session was made to equip them with approaching PI on a positive note.

Few students from Technia have already visited the MBAGURU centre at Pitampura to avail first hand experience of Interview and could see the value addition from the constructive feedback.

It was wonderful to see, the students coming up to Faculty after the event and sharing questions, doubts, apprehensions regarding their career. And ofcourse an answer to all elusive question of “Why MBA?”

The fact that most of MBAGURU faculty is from IIT/IIM background, is an advantage that our student always enjoys.

The success of the session also goes to the unconditional support and motivation provided by Director Dr. A. K. Srivastava. We also thank for spreading the word about the session. We look forward to the continuous support of the faculty, Especially Dr Ajay in helping us be a part of their pursuit of career awareness for their students.
