Here are few guidelines for you to start your preparation for IIM Abstract GD topics:
1) The first thing is to pick a list of 5 Abstract GD Topics that come across as total puzzles to you. Get a list of Abstract GD topics. For example:
- A drop is mightier in the ocean
- Water burns more than fire
- The Yellow canary
- Red or Black
- Golden shackles are better than iron ones
Make sure that you pick topics that completely paralyse you ability to get started. This is important because getting over the fear now is better than when you are in the actual Group Discussion
2) Now for each IIM Abstract GD topic, make 10 points on each topic. each of the 2 points should be related to:
- 2 on Economics
- 2 on Sports
- 2 on Politics
- 2 on Environment
- 2 on Entertainment/Humor/Movies
Once you realise that you can say anything on these Abstract GD topics by dividing them into these separate sub sections then you can be truly creative and let go of the fear of what to say.
3) Time your self: Give your self only 2 minutes to list the 10 subsections of each topics. Write only
a single word to describe what you wish to say, and then elaborate the point verbally by practicing in
front of a mirror. The more you practice keeping only a written point to start and then practice verbally the remaining viewpoint will hardwire the words into your memory. Make sure that you keep your viewpoints limited to 3 minutes of speaking time so that you are able to mkae 10 points in the shortest time possible.
Dear trooperblog,
I do have some queries regarding performance in GDs. But these apart, first please please do let me know from where have you posted the beautiful misty scenery right at the top of this page. Where exactly this place is? Is it somewhere in India? I don’t know why but seeing it has touched my heart so much that I can’t resist the temptation of visiting this place. I’m sorry if i sound somewhat childish for all this, but i can’t help it. So, please do let me know the whereabouts of this place as soon as possible. I will post my GD queries very soon.
Regards,
Anand
