Should GD be Part of Campus Placements?

Hello friends.

Our topic is "Should GD be a part of campus interview".

Yes I agreed with this topic only on the basis of that company like marketing and management. And also those companies who are connected with the foreigners.

Because in GD there are various qualities checked.

Attitude.
Way of express their view.
Confidence.
Communication skill.
Listening skills.
Aggression.
Behavior of sitting and speaking.

These all qualities should be endowed in any person if he wants to be a part of MNC. Because there many employees will meet from different states and country. And we know English is a common. So communication skills matters a lot.

The reason behind GD is to check knowledge and most importantly communication.

Taking GD for campus placement has become fad. Companies which require technically proficient people should put more emphasis on technical knowledge not on good communication. Because many intelligent people who are good in technical knowledge get sidelined by people who are good communicator but not equally good with technical knowledge.

So GD should be conducted depend on profile. If the demand of a profile is communication then GD is must.

GD is a mean of checking how well an individual would be able to work in a team. Since every individual needs to work in a team in any Software Company, it is very important to know whether the candidate would be able to mingle and move along with the other members of his team.

Also group discussions are a part of the selection process because, it is a part of every employee in his work field to attend meetings, discuss brief ideas and showcase their project development, and GD's help in knowing the capacity of the individual to attend such meetings.

But when it comes to purely technical companies like electronic or chemical core companies group discussions should not be a part of the selection process as technical knowledge is not communication skills, instead it is subject knowledge.

In my point of view GD is not necessary for technical oriented jobs, because technical jobs have more technical knowledge on their respective jobs only. But marketing and finance and customer support jobs must have communication skills, leader ship qualities, team working skills. If the companies (for technical positions) want to conduct GD for filtering the candidates they should conduct after technical interview.

If, we see from the point of view of programmer or technical, it is not necessaries that a person have good communication skills in English for GD. From the point of view to be either a manager or marketing team, it is necessaries part of life and also from the point of communicate to each other.

According to my point of view GD is useful to analyse the communication skills of a man. Also it gives the information about a person's situation handling ability.

Good afternoon friends this is Ravi.

In my words the GD is definitely best criteria to select wonderful minds into any organization. The organization will look the persons with two traits. First ability to communicate with the group, second enough technical knowledge.

As the above people saying that the technically sound persons will loss, I accept their words since GD alone can't judge them. Based on the organization they must follow in conduction of technical before GD or after GD.

Thanks.

Hello friends,

Our topic today is "Should GD be a part of campus placements:".

Well! According to me GD as a part of selection process plays a vital role. For the growth of any company employees having good technical as well as interpersonal i.e. soft skills are required.

Technical skills of a candidate is examined in technical interview, his mental ability is checked during aptitude test now when it comes to the soft skills of a candidate like his leadership skills, confidence, supportive nature, listening skills, communication skills and many more GD plays a great role.

It is a great chance for the evaluators to evaluate the candidates and also for the candidates for opening themselves with all their hidden skills so GD is like a platform. But then it should not be the only criterion for selection as some people may have good technical knowledge but they appear weak in GD due to fear or may be dominance so such people should get a chance to overcome their drawbacks.

From my side I conclude that GD should be held after technical and HR interview so that evaluators can take decision from the overall performance of all the candidates and not just in one field.

Thankyou.

Dear friends, our GD topic is should GD be a part of campus placements. In my opinion it is the requirement of job profile. If it is a managerial post then it is required and if it's a technical post then it's not necessary. But it is a plus point of a candidate. If you are good at GD it's mean that you can better express yourself and it helps to engage in group activity.

From my point of view GD is useful to know the communication skills, leadership, attitude etc., of a person but, but the person those who feel shy and have stage fear even they have good job talent and knowledge they cannot prove their talents.
