Group Discussion (GD) is a discussion done in a group. Period! So what's the fuss about this. We do discussion in groups all the time, sitting in your college canteen discussing about guys / girls, discussing about music, movies, "studies", etc etc. So why is this discussion so different? Here's the differentiation:
1. You cannot choose the topic
2. You do not have an option to pull out
3. You might not know anything about the topic
4. You are not interacting with known faces
5. Aim of this discussion is not to discuss, or to kill time or to enjoy but a race
Your effort for preparation for the exam, cracking it, reading various stuffs for your GD (including this), getting dressed, reaching the venue etc etc would boil down to this race. You must survive the race (read survive and not win) to get to the next level.
So what are the criteria you are measured upon in a GD:
1. Presence of mind (Analytical, Articulate and Creative)
2. Communication Skills
3. Knowledge (depth and distribution of knowledge)
4. Be visible and balanced (not too aggressive nor too timid)
5. Capability to listen and make people listen
6. Capability to co-ordinate and lead
7. Contribution to the topic and discussion
Lets discuss each one of these.
