This was the simplest one. 350/500 cleared this round. I was in a group of 16 people and our topic was ?India as a global leader?. Each of us were given 1 minute time to speak. In my group all of us get selected. Some tips you should follow in GD:

a) Speak only when your chance comes. Never never try to cross check or interrupt while other is speaking.
b) Whatever is your point speak with confidence and don?t try to copy from others.
c) Make eye contact with all others while speaking. Even if you don?t know much about the topic not a problem. Only your communication is checked.
d) Speak less and politely and wait for your turn. Everyone is given a fair chance.
e) Just tell 2 or 3 points and you will be selected.
