They might ask questions on whatever you said in your GD.
Topic will be decided by the panel and if the group is not comfortable with the given topic it could be changed.
Do not hesitate if you do not understand the topic and ask the panel to make it clear. Guys from both Hindi/English medium are included in the group and the panel give topic in English. So, Hindi medium students can ask for clarifications.
Everyone will be given time to put forward his/her opinions
Topic could be technical as well as general. (Topic in GD I attended was about technical education)
You can speak in Hindi/English. Don’t know if they allow other languages.
