IT IS BETTER TO DIVERT THE PANEL TOWARDS SOMETHING WHAT WE KNOW BY
INFORMING THEM IN ?TELL ABOUT YOU?.

HE ASKED ABOUT 40-50 QUESTIONS TO EACH FROM VARIOUS FIELDS INCLUDING
TECHNICAL. MANY OF THE STUDENTS WHO GOT SELCTED FROM THIS PANEL HAVENT

THOMAS WILL NEVER SHOW ANY REACTION, HE JUST ASKS QUESTIONS RAPIDLY.
DURATION: 10 ? 30 MINS.
PANEL 2:
THIS PANEL HEADED BY ELIZABETH WAS VERY EASY.
