Brief Description of the GD: (issues raised, whether noisy or quiet GD etc.)
CASE STUDY:
There is a textile company which has shifted to a new place. In the new place, when the company hired people from the companies which were already functioning there. These workers were not being treated well by the existing companies and are ready to join the relocated textile company.
However, the management of the existing companies have threatened to block the raw material supply if the relocated company poaches its workers.
What should the relocated company do? Should it ask the newly employed workers to go back? How should it recruit people?
GD Details :
Very quiet, possibly because most participants knew each other.
Quality seemed to be very high; the most talkative members did not get selected.

Okay, knowing fellow participants really helped.

Comments on your performance in the Interview
I was very tense – so messed up some very easy questions. But they seemed to realise it, and did not pressurise me at all.
The interviewers were usually with expressionless faces and did not show much interest in the selection procedure.
It is very important that you know about IIM-Ahmedabad. Do check out their web-site.
