The students who cleared the written test were then taken into a GD ROOM for the extempore. We were told to speak on any subject of our liking for 1 mins.
Careful, the topic must be such, that you have to give your opinion on that, rather than only describing it. The topics such as
'Effect of internet on India (MINE)',
'Globle warming', Chet anaS
'US policy to have two party system' etc.
the results were instantly declared. The selected candidates were then given a form to fill up and taken into another room for H.R which is not technical (90% true but if technical then don't worry it will not be hard).
