Did you avail benefit of any reservation ?

Raghav Singh: No Benefit as I applied under General (No reservation) Category.

Describe the general setting of WAT / GD (if any)?

Raghav Singh: For the GD, Writing, and reading test that I gave there were different elements. In GD a total of 15 members were assigned a topic for discussion. The time that was given to think on the topic was 5 minutes. The topic for GD was “4 day Workweeks”. In the case of GD, I will say it is very important to be precise than aggressive. At the same point do not try to strong-arm other participants, in case you do not know about the topic be, observant and try to pick from what your other fellows are saying.

In the case of the Writing Ability Test (WAT), the assigned topic was “Women are better managers than men”. They gave a total of 15 minutes to write down the points. An A4 sheet was provided for the same.

Women are better managers
4 day workweeks
