Then in front of your friends or seniors, speak for a minute. Ask them to keep an eye on the watch so that you don’t exceed the time limit. Continue this practice till the day of your personal assessment round.

Don’t forget to take feedback from your friends or seniors who are judging you. Keep a check on your body language, diction and speaking. Don’t be too conscious while speaking. Utilize the first few seconds in collecting your thoughts and get going about it.
