The Interview- A step closer to the reckoning

Abstract

Today’s world, as a global village, has certainly become very competitive and this has affected, among other things, the field of education too. Today the students have to burn the midnight oil to get admissions in good academic institutions. Even after successfully passing the written test, they have to work really hard to get through the interview. Normally the interview is of two kinds i.e. Personal Interview and Group Discussion (GD). Personal interview deals mainly with the candidate’s personality, his/her thinking ability and his/her overall conduct whereas the group discussion is all about having leadership skills. The essay tries to answer ‘What’ and ‘How’ of the interview.
