• The way you enter the hall, including your way of walking, talking, speaking, and how you greet them with a smile.
• Be professional and confident in your behaviour. Ask the panel members before you sit. 
• Your dressing sense matters the most. Do not opt for party wear dresses that are very glittery. Be simple and choose fine colours that suit your personality. If you are a girl, do not apply too much makeup. Be very simple and charming.
