What is a Group Discussion (GD)
Posted On: August 16, 2013Group discussions are popular assessment tools during interviews in many companies in India. I am not aware of this practice being undertaken in the US, although there are many benefits to this approach.
Candidates are placed into groups of 6-10 and given a topic to discuss. Sometimes, group members are given five minutes to plan their stance before starting.
Group discussion activities help the assessors understand the candidate on any of these aspects:
|
Personality Skills
Assertiveness
Critical Thinking
Encouraging others
Leadership
Initiative
Inclusiveness
Group Work Skills |
|
Language Skills
Pronunciation
Grammar
Language Handling
|
To learn more about how to prepare for a group discussion, dos and don’ts and how assessments happen, take a look at the slide shows below.
