Lecturette—Unfortunately you will not find this word in common dictionaries. Lecturette refers to
a short extempore speech. The features of this test are as following :—
● Topics are decided by the draw. The candidate draws a card out of the many offered to him by the
GTO. Every card contains four topics. The candidate selects one out of the given topics.
● Candidates are given three minutes to prepare for the topic and just the same duration to speak. As
one candidate starts speaking, the next to follow is called for selection of the topic to avoid the loss
of time between candidates. You have to ornate your delivery/projection which should appeal to
the audience.
Lecturette reflects all characterstics and qualities required to make a good orator. Knowledge,
information, ability to present the ideas confidently in forceful and convincing manner and
skill to interact with the audience are a few characteristics that make a person a good orator
and a leader too.
