Welingkar PGDM GD/PI experience

Had my GD/PI yesterday at Welingkar's. The Welingkars is a damn good college in terms of infrastructure. Before the GD/PI they had a presentation, where they blabbered about all the heavenly things about Welingkars. The process was well managed and all the volunteers were really doing well (though at times they were just too much faaunting the wireless phones in their hands).

The GD topic was "Today's youth has become installment oriented"..What a fu.... topic that was....Said a couple of points like
1) Today's youth want things pretty early in their life
2) Youth has become more knowledgeable..(Property rates go up by 30 %..Interest rates of loans only 16 %)
3) Government must come up with a legal framework so as to make sure that people are cheated by installment feature giving companies..blah blah..
In the end summarised a bit..The examiners didn't look very happy...

4) Rent a office.
5) Physical Infrastructure of the office.
