Totally around 3000 candidates appeared and 824 got through ist round which is 30 minutes written test and where u need to answer 15 questions which is a mixture of verbal, non-verbal and analytic questions.
so for these u need to get through books like aggrwal,gre baron.

next from this 384 cleared gd,and here r some tips..

u need to either initiate the talk,or conclude it,or add extra during conclusion in favour of it.

u need to keep nodding ur head and behave as if u r a ceo of the company and u r taking a meeting to ur employees.

be confidant, change facial expressions sometimes smiling and sometimes serious..

make some strong points and while making be sure that it is heard by the examiner and others shut their mouth(as if u r a ceo).

my topic was "balance between professionalism and family".i was the initiator made 3 strong points and added and made conclusion more effecitve..sometimes u need to say..hey!!why r u mum by looking
at him/her and asking him/her even to involve..
