Why Extempore Speech at IIMs?

Over a period of time MBA aspirants developed a trend of speaking loudly on the premise that they have to exhibit leadership quality at GD which is being conducted at many B schools. 

New IIMs found that undoubtedly leadership skill set has to be judged for aspirants but since with almost GD group is shouting, it would be difficult to scale the points with that minimum error and injustice might happen to few aspirants.

Another aspect is that students who come from humble background, sometime they are not able to match with those who have had better exposure because of family background so disparity needs to be removed or better option have to be scouted. 

Extempore speech is found to be a better tool to understand inside story of being professional, communication command, domain knowledge, skill set of understanding audience, non verbal communication. However conducting GD is not undermined as that also has its own pluses.

Impromptu or extempore speaking within a limited time frame on assigned topic is itself a challenge which must be won by students. A bit of practice supplemented with reading news papers, attaining latest general awareness, enriching vocabulary, quotes of great people will help to bond audience of speech.

No matter what may be the topic, Extempore Speech is basic test of confidence and speaking out from heart while maintaining eye to eye contact with all as audience loves it!
