  2. Why are Group Discussions conducted by companies? • A group discussion (GD) is used to assess group skills that cannot be judged in an interview. More importantly, a GD is a great way for employers to see you in a real-life simulation of an activity which happens every-day at work -it's called meetings and conference calls. • It helps the employer explore an individual's confidence, team spirit, ability to deal with a chaotic and unstructured environment and express themselves in a structured manner. Please remember often when you are going in for meetings at work, thoughts and structure is really present. Can you be the person driving structured communication! Group discussions are also a test of your logical and analytical skills and your competence to deliver on them in a high pressure and high stakes environment.

  3. What skills are judged in a Group Discussion? Let’s start with the skills and behavioral elements that you are being judged on in a group discussion exercise: • 1. How good you are at communicating with others? • 2. How you behave and interact with a group? • 3. How open minded are you? • 4. What is your competency level for quick decision making? • 5. How well do you listen to others? • 6. How confident are you when criticized or attacked in a discussion? • 7. Problem-solving skills

  4. How you should perform in a Group Discussion? • 1. Grab the opportunity to speak first, but if you miss it, enter politely and systematically into the discussion • 2. Sit with a straight and confidence posture • 3. Allow others to speak and be courteous • 4. Use quotes, fact and figures, everyday life examples to express a clear opinion • 5.
