How to Achieve Success in PPDT?

1. How many characters you see in picture and their position needs to be marked in a box in
answer sheet.

2. What was the mood of the character, their sex and age?
3. You are also asked to identify main character of your story.
This all needs to be done in 1 minute in which you might also asked to give a title to story. Then you

get 3 minutes to write the story on it which should include past events, present scene and the future
happening. The story should be clear and crisp. The following should be kept in mind:
1. Hero of story should do something great then only the word hero has a real meaning.

2. There should be a problem in a story and it should be solved also.
3. Story should be natural and acceptable to all. That means it should have actions that could be
done by human beings.

4. No need to make story
unnecessarily positive, just
express it in the same way.

After this all are divided in small
groups for the group discussion.

Now you are asked to narrate story
individually for about a minute and
when everyone has done the same
the GD starts to conclude. Now the

impressive thing in this exercise is that since the picture was hazy everyone has different perception
of story. Remember the following while doing group discussion:

1. Don’t ever try to make a GD room a fish market. Since everyone tries to get his / her story
implemented so it’s necessary that you should go with group and try to conclude.
2. Enter at appropriate point to get group in one direction if there is digression.

3. Don’t allow to form subgroups and if formed ask people to discuss collectively.
4. Give chance to people who have not got one.
5. Try to enter 2-3 times depending on time given with each time speaking for 30-45 seconds. The

matter should be good enough to attract attention of all.
