Skills you’ll practise

This course is for

Placement and B-school candidates facing surprise-topic rounds.

Just A Minute rounds and extempore speeches are used by IT and consulting campus drives, B-schools and group discussions to see how you think out loud.

This course gives you a repeatable method: a first line that always works, a three-point skeleton you can build in twenty seconds of prep, and ways to handle abstract topics like red or zero, current-affairs topics, and the buzzer that goes off when you hesitate or repeat. Every lesson runs against a timer with other players voiced by the tutor.

The capstone is five surprise JAM rounds scored like a real elimination.

Intermediate

You can hold a basic conversation but hesitate, translate in your head, or freeze under pressure. We fix that.
