Common Misconceptions.Some male candidates have a misconception

that the main character must be of their age and gender! As a result of this

wrong notion some candidates write story about a male character while the

photo shows a female. This goes against them because the assessors are led

to conclude that such candidates are unable to interpret clearly what is

shown and lack practical sense.

Do This

Write a natural and realistic story that comes to your mind on seeing the pic-

ture. The moods, etc of characters should be stated as observed.Positive

thinking means that even if the photo shows something adverse, or tragic,

the candidate foresees that in the future things will become all right, with

the main character playing a proactive part in the same.

The main character should be proactive and do something for the better-

ment of the existing situation.

Discussion in PPDT

Candidates are organised in groups of 14-15 for group discussion. Each can-

didate is required to narrate his story by turn. After everyone has narrated

his/her story the group is required to discuss the same and arrive at a con-

sensus story. The group is required to nominate a leader who has to narrate

the story on behalf of the entire group.
