• What is GD?
• Tips
• Skills
GD
• Group Discussion is a formal round moderated
by panelists. It is nothing but a tool used by
companies to gauge a candidate’s ability to
communicate effectively.
• GD or Group Discussion round is one of the
most dreaded elimination rounds in the entire
recruitment process for freshers
Tip 1: Pay attention to your body language
• The first impression is often the last. Make
sure you make a good one.
• look everyone in the eye while making your
point and listen attentively to others while
they speak
• NEVER twiddle with your pen or stare blankly
at the ceiling when others in the group are
talking
Tip 2: Be courteous with fellow
speakers
• Additionally, do not use negative terms like “I
disagree” or “That’s incorrect”.
•
Using milder forms of disagreement like “Adding
another perspective to what you just contributed”
or “Looking at it from another angle”, not only
displays your positive personality but also shows
you’re a team worker.
• Don’t forget to thank your recruiters while exiting
the GD room to leave a great impact.
Tip 3: Be confident and keep adding
'good' points
• The point you thought would make you stand
out just got stolen!
Tip 4: Ensure that your words make
sense
• Take a cue from what they have to offer and
make your own points. In the worst case,
rephrase what your group mates had to offer
and reiterate their points. If you feel you
didn’t have much to contribute, summarize
the discussion.
Tip 5: Don’t be afraid to start
• If you are well versed with the topic
announced and there is a lot you have to offer,
pat yourself on the back (well, mentally). Jot
down the key points and be the beginner of
the group discussion. That way, you get an
opportunity to lead the discussion, heading it
to a meaningful point of your choice and
convenience.
Tip 6: Use supporting statistics and
examples
• Using famous quotes or examples to back up
your points in a group discussion will prompt
panelists to keep note of your cognizance.
Also, the use of statistical data to corroborate
your viewpoint fetches further brownie
points.
Tip 7: Participate in mock GDs
beforehand
• Participating in mock Group Discussions
before the D-day will help you judge yourself
vis-a-vis others of similar caliber and potential
(prepare these topics). Try to be a part of
mock Group Discussions to open your thought
process to diverse topics and make a mental
note of your strengths and shortcomings.
Tip 8: Brush up your GK
• General knowledge is pivotal to get through a
GD round.
Tip 9: Acquire these crucial group
discussion skills
• Group discussion is a tool to test your
teamwork skills, listening skills, discussion
ability, subject knowledge, and
communication. Intrinsic skills like reasoning,
speaking and time management come in very
handy. Skills that you can work upon include
presentation, summarizing and people
speaking
Tip 10: Lastly, follow these group
discussion rules
• Come prepared
• Note down the names of all the participants
• Maintain a firm posture
• Take charge of the discussion
• Retain your standing and balance
• Do not get emotional
