LECTURETTE

The Lecturette is the last task of the GTO 1 Day. In this task candidates are made to sit on a squad post and the GTO will brief them on the task. All candidates have to take a lecturette i.e speak for 3 minutes each and the time for preparation time is also 3 minutes.

Expectation of the GTO in lecture:-

In this lecture the GTO notices about the candidate clarity of thought, power of expression, depth of knowledge, confidence level etc.

Conduct of Lecturette:-

The students are made to sit in a rows of three /four. The GTO sits behind the candidates.Then the GTO places a set of cards in front of the candidates.

The candidates have to pick one card from that bunch and are given three minutes to prepare the topic.

There are four of topics on each card (one is tough next two are normal and the third one is easy). The candidate has to select only one topic.

While the first candidate is preparing his talk. Other candidates are made to give a short self introduction.

When the first candidate arrives for his lecture the next candidate has to pick up his card and the rest follow likewise automatically.

The first candidate will start his lecture. After 21/2 minutes the GTO rings a bell to warn the candidate that his time is almost over and he should sum up his lecture.

After 3 minutes are over the GTO will ring the bell again, this indicates that the time is up and the candidate should stop and move out.

The next candidate now takes his place and similarly starts his lecture.
