Group Discussion

Tips

GD basically means searching your team player, leadership, communication capability.

• Always be the initiator and concluder of the GD than being a participant
• But if you are participant always try to be the most vital/key participant
• Put points firmly and always try to get others support too
• If you find that the discussion is going off track then never lose an opportunity to bring it back to stream this is the best point to score max
• Try to keep latest information on the topic
• Be very polite, people may try to provoke you to get more points but try to keep cool
• Most important don't wait for your turn to speak when discussion is on. Interrupt politely if you want to put forward your points.
• Last but not the least keeps a tab on the time given for discussion. Score points by wrapping up the discussion f you feel that the discussion is heating but the time is going to be over.
• During conclusion, do end with the conclusion note. That shows your leadership quality.

Best scoring points are: -
1. Initiation of discussion
2. always keeping/trying to keep discussion on track.
3. Conclusion on time.
4. Your capability to keep your cool and listen as well as putting your points.
