The process consisted of three stages namely Group task, psychometric test and PI.

Group task:

A predefined group of 8 students was made to sit for the Group Task that lasted for about 10 minutes.

The number of moderators was 3. 2 minutes were provided to students to think on the topic and then they were asked to start the discussion. The sitting pattern was rectangular. The group was not provided with a paper to jot down essential points. Before the start of the discussion the moderators gave instructions about the group task.

Sample Group Task:

The group was supposed to make some fishes out of paper. A table was given to them by which they had to calculate cost of raw material, selling price, profit etc and forecast the profit that they would make. The moderators initially give a demonstration of the whole exercise. After the exercise the group were again asked to calculate the actual profit that they made and compare it with the estimates.
