Hello Guys,
The new season for campus placement is about to begin in a month or two, hence I thought of writing few lines which I experienced and sensed working as a student placement coordinator last year in my college.
To begin with, firstly not every group discussion is same. Each and every company has it's own expectations from GD. But here are few tips which is applicable to most of the companies.
Basically, one is expected to show an awesome communication skills in GD. Since this is a competition it is very important that you don't fall for for the conventional method of giving chance to every one. Please note, this doesn't mean you got to overpower others, but it means you need not worry whether others are speaking or not. You need to find chance every time to place your opinions. In simple language you need to be an active speaker throughout the time allotted for GD.
Second important point is clear organisation of thoughts. This means your thought process should be well planned. No matter what the topic is, please divide the topic in to subdivisions. Later allot equal time to every subdivisions.
Note that in a GD, you should never take a single side. Always try to evaluate both the sides of a topic. This gives a very good impression on you. Also it is very important that you don't suddenly drift from positive side to negative side. To evaluate a a topic from both the sides, you got to be in a neutral side always. Also your conclusion should include a proper evaluation of both the sides.
