CAT 2022 Group Discussion and Personal Interview

After you attempt your CAT 2022 exam and get a good percentile score, the next stage is Group Discussions (GD) and Personal Interviews (PI). If you have applied to a college/university and your scores are above the cut-off for that institute, they will call you for further rounds and test your skills in terms of GD and PI. It is an important part of the overall CAT experience, and students must take it seriously. At BYJU’S, we offer students the Mock GD/PI facility to help prepare for this stage. They will get specialised sessions where teachers will guide them with strategies and tactics to keep in mind during the GD and PI stages.
