Should GD be Part of Campus Placements?

In GD section if there is the person who have leadership qualities always doesn't want the members in the group to be keep quiet, he/she automatically ask the opinion on the topic to involve the member who's keep quiet during the gd section.

This is the era of knowledge and as well presentation and considering this point, group discussion makes its significance. Today we want leaders who can motivate and guide others. When you are going in outside world to do a job, your technical knowledge matters but moreover it's important how to express and assimilate this knowledge and that is the main reason why it's so necessary. It gives you the confidence to put your views & also improves your logical and analytic power.

But mainly GD is held in English and there are many people who feel uncomfortable while giving their views in English other than Mother Tongue. That's why I am saying that GD is necessary but don't make it the final criteria for the selection. Include it but also check the technical and social knowledge of that person & then evaluate the all things honestly.

Hello everyone,

In my opinion GD should be a part of campus placement, as it helps in checking the mental ability, thinking power of a person. But it should be last round and final decision should not be based only on GD, because some students who are good in academics and even have good thinking power, solutions of every problem but they hesitate to express their view and just because of this they have to face rejection. So company should consider every point of the student and if possible they will provide some training to the students to overcome this hesitation.

Thanks.

Hello Friends,

I strongly believe that GD should play an important part in the selection criteria. It indeed does. It tests the candidates analytical as well as communication skills. GD is a criteria where you fight for your opinion, you prove what you believe is right. This automatically gives an idea of the candidates' convincing power. However, GDs should take place in a proper manner. There has to be a decency that should be maintained while appearing and speaking in a GD. This indicates about a person's behaviour and attitude towards people.

Hello friend, according to my opinion, there should be GD in placement campus but it should be in proper manner so that everyone can get opportunities to use own thinking power. How he is deep and strong in thinking power? in technical round anyone can answered the question if he/she did studied well. But this is not important step for campus placement. For example : in sales/marketing/business, we need a high standard qualify student who is good in communication and can interact easily with customer.

In this case there is no importance of how much you strong in technical subject. This is fact for all it as well as core company. According to my opinion there should be aptitude test followed by Gd and interview for campus placement.

HELLO!

We all agree to the fact that GD plays a significant role in portraying the confidence, views and the diplomacy skills of an individual to cooperate and coexist in the society.

BUT, at the same time there are people who possess immense potential and technical knowledge, albeit are unable to express themselves enough to clear the GD round, thus loosing a chance.

In my point of view, the right place for GD in the recruitment process is after the technical round.

That way, "bright minds" with good confidence and communication skills would then "get placed".

I think GD is not an important thing in recruitment, because one candidate have good technical skills but he has fear to prove their ideas at that time companies will reject the candidate. The companies loss a good candidate. I think personal interview is needed instead of GD.

Thank you.

Without a doubt GD should be a part of the campus placements, but it should not be set as a filter.

Because if this is kept as a filter, the people with good technical knowledge would be filtered out, and for each and every field its not only the communication skills that counts, technical knowledge is also important.

Of course its simultaneously important to represent your thoughts in front of others.

Even if you have knowledge but you are unable to put down your thoughts that's also useless.

So, GD and PI can be set as the rounds and given marks independently to each.

Yes gd should be part of the campus placement. It helps the candidate in many ways she can show her capability of speaking which gives her confidence. We can be able to know about the other candidate so that each others attitude is known one among the other for futures companies healthy growth.

Yes, In my point of view GD should be a part of campus placement, it show's the ability of candidates. They are able to present his/her word's at the front of another employees.

Or not it show's confidence and communication skill of candidates. But, I think that GD must be started after PI, cos of in PI the Interviewer may check the ability of the candidate.
