First Internship stint.... with TAS

Today appeared for TAS ( TATA ADMISTRATIVE SERVICES) internship position along with 7 other MBA batchmates. TAS is one of the most prestigiuos comapnies of the big indian conglomerate TATA. All of us were first disappointed as the team from TAS got delayed by 2 hours. I didn't expected this from one of the most reputed companies of India. Anyways the team arrived at around 11.30 am finally. They had a very unique way of group discussion(GD) which I experienced for the first time. They had a list of 8 business case scenarios in which managers of an organization faced a certain dilemma which they were suppose to discuss. Each one of us was suppose to pick up 1 at random, go through the breif of the scenario and then take as the lead in discussing the issue with 7 others, about 8 minutes were given for each case discussion and in the end the one in the lead would sum up the final decisions agreed among all . So far my experience with group discussions ( during undergarduate campus placement) was that they were very noisy , with every one very egoistic about his/her point of view. The discussions never ended up in conclusion. People had an illusion that more you speak ( no matter what:-)), the greater are your chances of clearing the GD round.
Todays experience was completely different, everyone of us got a chance to lead and to act as a participant as well. The discussions were more fruitful, disciplined and smooth. I really admire this form of GD after experiencing it first hand. Got to know some of my weaknesses as well retrospective of others. :-)) . Another plus point wrt this form of discussion. We did 8 GDs in a span on an hour.
Finally, 2 of us(Sachin and Jaewoo) were selected for interviews. In the end Sachin cleared the interview round as well.

GOOD EXPERIENCE :-))
