What is a Group Discussion?
A GD is a methodology used by an organization to gauge whether the
candidate has certain personality traits and/or skills that it desires in its
members.
In this methodology, the group of candidates is given a topic or a
situation, given a few minutes to think about the same, and then asked to
discuss the it among themselves for 15-20 minutes.
Why a Group Discussion?
The reason why institutes put the
candidates through a Group discussion
and an interview, after testing your
technical and conceptual skills in an
exam, is to get to know you as a person
and gauge how well you will fit in their
institute.
The Group discussion tests how you
function as a part of a team.
What is tested?
1. Ability to work in a team
2. Communication skills
3. Reasoning ability
4. Leadership skills
5. Initiative
6. Assertiveness
7. Flexibility
8. Creativity
9. Ability to think on ones feet
What To Do?
1. Take leadership responsibilities
2. Keep an open mind
3. Maintain a moderate tone of voice
4. Don’t get emotional
5. Sit upright and concentrate on your body
language
6. Be a good listener
What Not To Do
1. Avoid constant objections to other people’s
arguments
2. Say no to a pessimistic approach
3. Don’t insult other people, criticize in a
decent manner
4. Dump your jealousy or animosity
5. No irrelevant stories/personal experiences
6. Don’t be an attention seeker
KEY TO SUCCESS
The GD is to check how you (i)
behave, participate and
contribute in a group, (ii) how
much importance do you give
to the group objective as well
as your own, (iii) how well do
you listen to viewpoints of
others and; (iv) how open-
minded you are in accepting
views contrary to your own.
The aspects which make up a
GD are verbal communication,
non-verbal behavior,
conformation to norms,
decision-making ability and
cooperation. You should try to
be as true as possible to these
aspects.
