Should GD be Part of Campus Placements?

I think gd is important in any type of interview process because it reflects the ability of a candidate that how confident he can share his thoughts and express his point of view. Group discussion indicates how good our communication skills, leadership skills. In work place, we need to communicate with others as we must work as a team. In technical job also he or she may be asked by some nontechnical questions and that time he or she must be getting ready to give an answer of that question properly. Discussion on a given topic among 15 or more students gives us confidence and reduces shyness.

At the end, I would like to say that gd is important also it is true that gd is not the only judging parameter that indicates a student is good or not. But to get confident on ourselves we need concentrate both on our relative job skills and communication skills. All the best everyone for your career. Thank you.

According to my point of it should be depend on for what job you are hiring a person. Like if you are hiring a person for a technical job then it shouldn't be there because he may not be good in communication but he must be good in technical. You can take a technical round for that.

Apart from that if you are hiring a candidate for a corporate world then you should take gd as a selection process. Because in corporate world your focus, communication, listening, team work, leadership skill will matter.

So according to me it depends on the job profile.

Hi friends.

It's my opinion GD should be a part of campus placement. Because that helps known about the students communication skills and knowledge aggregation leadership and confidence level so GD should be a part of campus placement.

Thanks.

Hi friends,

According to me, the GD should not be as last elimination round of campus recruitment because in GD we focus on communication skill, the way of convincing people, knowledge about the current affair. All are running behind communication skill and attitude but we are forgetting that these things are secondary and additional things but your technical knowledge towards your field is most important. You can't grow your company with the candidate who only has communication skill and less technical knowledge.

One can improve his/her communication skill after getting the job also by training workshops. But if we eliminate only based on this criteria so it is our loss. Because "Life is a learning process".

Yes,

GD should be the part of Campus Placements. GD will declare the capacity of the person and how he/she is communicating with an another person and it's shows that the English skills of the person and also Leadership Qualities. It's shows the Behaviour and attitude of a person.

Yes, GD must be a part of campus selection. Many of us thinks that some people with good communication skills, fluent English and interpersonal skills will get the job instead of them who have good technical knowledge, but with less fluent English and also poor communication skills. Actually this is not the case. GD is only the part of selection criteria, it's not for final selection. This is also right that you must possess both communication skills and technical knowledge to manage company and those who are at selection panel know already about this situation. So in conclusion GD should be a part of campus selection.

Yes, because GD helps a candidate to increase his her knowledge. He will be aware of the current events. Thus help him to inc his knowledge.

G. D is a way to filter out candidates on a bulk basis.

GD should be made compulsory during placements.

I would like to strengthen my argument by providing the picture of the work culture in a company, M.N.C's in particular.

People don't work individually rather they work in groups as teams.

Now, if an HR recruiter hires a person without filtering the candidates via GD round.

He would bring a person who is not capable of understanding the strength of a team.

Now you may ask how this would affect the company?

At this point, I would like to mention that if a certain task is assigned to the person in the lime light, he might not be able to handle the social pressure or peer pressure.

SO, basically, GD is conducted in order to access a candidates team skills and to access his skills under pressure.

I think that GD should not be a part of campus placement as interview is sufficient to know about the confidence, speaking skills, personality and knowledge. GD is only a part of the drive to filter the lots of candidates for the interview.

Hi, I'm Utkarsh.

I suppose that GD should not be the mandatory one because we have some people whose speaking skills are not so good but still they can perform better in pressure unlike those who have better communication skills. There are some people who don't like to interfere or being interfered by anyone in between they are saying something so most of the GDS end up with fight or losing temper of the candidates. Some people are in there to interfere only they don't have any strong opinion of there own but they depend on the opinions given by others and correct themselves as they have their own opinion.
