Hi guys,

I must confess frankly that I am not too much interested in management studies (In fact, I don't exactly know what we study in management). I am bad at general awareness and stuff.

But to be on the safe side, and to have some career options open, I was advised by many well-wishers to appear for the management entrance exams, and unfortunately

I was qualified (albeit with a large rank) in one of the exams.

Now, I am attending the Group Discussions/Personal Interviews at IITs (Delhi, Kharagpur, Kanpur and Roorkee).

Now's the real problem,.... I am spending so much of my dad's hard earned money on travelling all over the country, but with no hopes of getting into any of these ranked institutions, 'cos basically my profile is something like this:

academics: ok
general awareness: 0.000001
communication skills (written): ok
communication skills (spoken): nothing much
self-confidence: depends on who I'm talking to, and what I'm talking about

attitude: oscillates between -100 and +25

any quick tips for the group discussions and personal interviews?
