1.The topic was decided by a 3ppl in the group without taking other s opinions
2.The initiation of topic was also chaotic.3 ppl wanted those extra points of starting Gd .They did not stop.
3.The discussion was worthless.Everyone wanted tu dominate,but,had no extra pointsand repeated same points Fed up with all these the observer asked us tu conclude in the 4th minute itself(scheduled time is 10min)
4.The observer wanted 1 person of his choice to conclude.But,still poeple tried themselves to conclude +ve points------->
1.when ppl were lingering around the same point,i interfeared in between and countered their points for a minute and welcomed their responses.But,they again continued on their own old point
2.When the group was in chaotic discussion i did not go and mix up but kept cool(But, later i gave my points) **3.I was gettin familiar with my group members before the GD started and was cool while others were appearing tensed.He noticed all these things He shortlisted 220 members here

Finally he shortlisted 148 ppl.
The ppl who were interviewed after 4hours faced severe stress interview out of which only a handfull were selected.So, it alwayz beneficial tu get interviewed at the initial stages itself My frnz pls be prepared for the worst case always.Dont take any chance.I know ppl who lost many interviews due to silly reasons,and getting into a company is not a joke
YOU SHUD BE ABLE TO FACE ANY CHANGING SITUATION ACCORDINGLY.SO,PREPARE WELL.
MY ABOVE EXPERIENCE IZ ONLY A CASE.EVRY TIME U MAY NOT FACE THE SAME SITUATION.
ALWAYZ THE BEST WAY TO PREPARE IS BY KNOWING WHAT THE COMPANY DEMANDZ FOR.
AFTERALL THE CUSTOMER LOOKS FOR ONLY WHAT HE WANTS.ANALOGOUS IS THE CASE WITH RECRUITER.
NEVER LOSE HOPE!! ALL THE BEST!
