GD Topics can be from a wide range of issues. It could be a topic on current events, business news, sports or anything very general.

A Personal Interview (PI) is a two-way communication platform

A Personal Interview (PI) is a two-way communication platform. It is like a dialogue where you showcase your skills to the interviewer and the interviewer in turn paints a picture about the business school that you are interviewing for.

So, both the interviewer and the interviewee can seek clarifications from the other party. Candidates should take some time to think about the question before answering. 

In fact, you will not be penalized for taking a minute to formulate your answer before conveying it to the interviewer. If you fail to seek clarification and answer a question wrongly, it shows your arrogance and unwillingness to seek various points of view and opinions. It also shows that you are rigid and believe that only your way of thinking is correct.

Maintain some humility and show respect for the interviewer by seeking clarification on questions that are too difficult to comprehend. 

There is no harm in asking an interviewer to explain a question, if it is too complicated or vague. In fact, seeking a clarification is better than answering a question wrongly.
