Hi
I am training BE students in Group Discussion and Personal Interviews. Could anybody suggest me some topics pertaining to BE students?
I would like to get clarified if the GD for BE students is anyway different from other GDs.
I also would like to know how important GDs and interviews are, for BE fresh graduates who appear for campus and off campus placements.
Your reply would be useful!
Regards,
