Beyond The Written Test
CW · GD · PI
Preparation.
Many students clear the written test but stumble in Stage II. These rounds are not just formalities — they carry 40% weight in MSU BBA's final merit. Thinkoraa prepares you for all three.
Group Discussion (GD)
Typically 8–12 students in a group. Assessed on content, structure, listening, and leadership (15 marks in final merit). Duration: 10–15 minutes.
Thinkoraa Tip: Start with a structured point, build on others' ideas, summarise effectively. Don't dominate — facilitate.
Creative Writing (Extempore)
You will be required to write (or speak) on a given topic on the spot (varies by year, carries 10 marks in final merit). Assessed on clarity of thought, articulation, and logical structure.
Thinkoraa Tip: Use the PEEL format — Point, Evidence, Explanation, Link back. Keep it structured and avoid jargon overload.
Personal Interview (PI)
1-on-1 or panel interview. Typically covers: why BBA, why MSU, career goals, current affairs, your 12th marks, extracurriculars, and basic business awareness. Duration: 10–20 minutes.
Thinkoraa Tip: Know your 12th marksheet, MSU's history (est. 1949, NAAC A+), and have one strong answer for "Why BBA from MSU specifically?"
