After reaching the venue they conducted document verification which was followed by the start of Group Discussion.

GD Topic- "Should government invest more in opening new IITs/IIMs or should it make primary education as a priority."

Each candidate spoke on the above-mentioned topic for few minutes after which the group came to a conclusion. Group Discussion can be a tensed situation for some, but with confidence and clarity of thought, one can easily score in this phase. It is important to maintain the decorum of the session and avoid being too loud.
