In person assessment is conducted in 4 sessions spread across 2 days. 1st is WAT where candidates are have to write their Statement of Purpose. There after GD, where students were divided in group of 12 and after GD Personal Interviews were conducted. Results were released after 1 week. Difficulty was moderate.

We were given choice between two topics for GD, first was One Nation One Election and Other was Diversity Equity and Inclusion at work place, challenges, opportunity and way ahead. the quality of points and contribution was major factor but conduct during the interview was the deciding factor. One has to have positive body lanaguage and proper manners as well.
