Group Discussion is a combination of two words 'Group' and 'Discussion.' Let's
discuss it in detail.
Group
A group means many people are working together to achieve some targets. The
performance of a group depends on the collaborative work of the individuals. The
team of three or more than three people is considered as a group.
Discussion
Discussion means exchanging ideas between two or more than two people, which is
generally a face-to-face interaction. It is a process of talking between people to reach
a specific decision. It is also defined as a conversation about a specific topic.
The result or end product of group discussion can be a particular decision, enhanced
knowledge, actions, an argument, doubt-clearing, disagreement, etc.

7. Objectives of Conducting a
Group Discussion
• The objective of a selection in GD is
mainly to check your team playing skills.
You must understand the other persons’
point of view, while making your point and
ensure that your team reaches a solution
or agreement that is both feasible and
accepted by all team members.
• There are four major areas of evaluation in
selection GDs: subject knowledge, oral
communication skills, leadership skills and

have awareness on the consequences
of child marriage.
