many queries coming up about SCIT GD/PI … heres my GD/PI experience … last year on the 2nd of February:
There were 2 GDs (Technical and Non Technical), 2 PIs (Technical and Non Technical) and a Psychometric Test. Total 12 in our group; 3 were absent. Total students = 150. Out of that 120-125 turned up for the GD/PI.
First GD:
Topic: Nice guys finish last. The GD was good. Everyone was adding good points. I summarized.
Checking of Certificates: Every mark sheet was checked – the 10th, 12th, 1st sem, 2nd sem, 3rd sem and the 4th (for me!). And if wanted, we could show other certificates too!
Second GD:
Topic: Made in India is not yet a brand.
The jury consisted of the Director of SCIT. All in the competitors were fighting, so she said that if we dint have a good discussion, she would disqualify the whole group. We then had a good discussion. Summarized by me again!
Psychometric Test: This test contained some questions through which the PI panel could know the nature of the student. There were 40 questions and 20 minutes were given to answer them. Questions mainly repeated after twisting them 15-20 times. They gave this test to decide the questions to be asked in the PI.
Lunch
Results: The GD was the elimination round. They selected 67 people for the PIs. Got selected for the PI

7) My sixth sem project.

11) who was the chief guest at the republic day at rashtrapati bhavan?
-> sorry sir, i dont know.
12) you said you read newspaper. that was on the front page.
-> i am a bit engrossed in my project (not exactly in these words).
13) How can Internet help in India?
-> In a lot many ways. Sites like google and wikipedia can be used to get useful information. a lot can be known from that. Remote areas can be accessed from internet. communication is possible. (dint speak on globalization ).
14) Any questions for me?
-> No sir, I dont have any questions, but just a few suggestions. Being a member of the BCA Training and Placement Cell, and the administrator of the BCA Web Site, I would like to givemy suggestions on the SCIT web site: scit.edu. They are: 1) Too many links on the home page which confuses people who have come for the first time. 2) The home page should not have any “flashy” things. There is this NEWS that flashes on the front page. This is unprofessional. 3) The word “Disclaimer” is added to every page. Thats fine, but the placing of that word is not proper. Sometimes it is between the text of that page, and sometimes it is far away from the text of the page at the bottom of the text. 4) The alumni corner doest work properly, just the main page works.
The interviewer was an external faculty. He said that he would deliver my suggestions to the people involved.
Then sir chkd the Psychometric test. No more questions.
FINISH. overall it was great. the students over there were great. They helped a lot. in all ways. helped a lot to reduce tension.
Hope this is useful for all people targeting SCIT … all the best and cheers
