Should GD be Part of Campus Placements?

GD is important in interview. Because when the GD is conducted the candidates creative answer for the particular question will help the HR to analyze about the person.

We can come to know how he is communicating in the group.

Eventhough the peson has practi al knowledge he must be able to work in a team and explains about his project to the team members and communicate his idea.

If he is open in communicating with people the conflicts will not arise.

Absolutely not. I am talking about technical jobs. Eliminating candidates based in the initial stages just because he wasn't able to cut-off other people in between is just ridiculous. Technical jobs don't need you to debate with other people. It doesn't need you to cut off other people while they are speaking. Rather it requires you to be good with your technical skills and there is absolutely NO relation between TECHNICAL skills and COMMUNICATION skills. A lot of people who even have good communication skills are unable to bag the opportunity to say because GD's are more like arguments/fights rather than a sophisticated debate.

I don't think that they should be used in technical jobs. Maybe for marketing and sales, they might be okay but not for technical.

I think a lot of tech companies have dropped GD but still those who haven't should also do the same.

Yes, GD should be a part of campus placement it helps to find out the qualities of a person like comm skills thought process critical thing leadership supporting nature and boldness.

Gd helps to find out a person which is capable to do a job in better a way.

Gd may used to find out the hidden quality of a person.

Hello friends,

I am Mayank as far as.

I concerned Gd must be the part of camps placement it helps to identify the leadership skills, communication skills as well as teamwork of the candidate. Nowadays every organisation works on the basis of a project which includes various members where it is most important to coordinate with the team members for which they require good communication skills as well as teamwork. Further I want to enlighten that GD shows the knowledge of the candidate about the current affairs as well as his/her opinion on that. It is true that in this process the candidates who have good technical skills get eliminated but in today scenario you cannot work without having good communication skills because in that if you are not good in communication so you can not explain your point to you juniors or superiors. So it should be part of campus placement.

Acoding to my point of view, GD should be a part of campus placement. It is shows the students knowledge, leadership quality, and express own views. It is easy process to select the students which are able or not for next round. It is because so many students are not perform in gd but they have better skills. Thanks.

Hi Everyone,

GD is necessary and it is to be conducted before the final round.

The Point We identified Are.

1. Boldness and knowledge (One who starts the GD is the person Who clearly knows the topic and also he doesn't have any fear to face the crowd).
2. Confident Level.
3. Communication Skills.
4. Listening skill (It is very important so it is easy to reply fast to the opponent).
5. Time Management (You shouldn't talk too much, your Point Should be Short and Accurate).

Well, the scenario is it doesn't matter if it is part or not. The mandatory skillset & a mindset that is needed in working that's what is needed today & all the students whether it is management guy, bsc or technical we are framed & we are shaped throughout our lifestyle in such a way that we can accept new things really quickly. It was used to be a time when students were called by companies to take interview, but today because everone wants to do engineering & do study the competition has increased so much that the same kind of capability & potential can be found out in 1000 students so nobody is precious nowadays, if you don't want to go its ok there are 999 students as similar as you which can get a job, so all these things gd, aptitude are the methods to shortening the list of students so that the interviewer doesn't get bored while taking interview. That's it.

Yes, GD should be the part of campus placement because GD gives a basic idea to HR people, how broadly student can think and how well he/she deal with that. GD must be a part of campus placement but it should be considered as bonus points not as essentially/compulsory. Because no one can predict the capability of the student only on communication skills. A student has good communication skills not guaranteed that he also good in technical skills and vice versa. So in my point of view, it should be part of the campus placement but not for Elimination.

Hello everyone. I think GD should be made mandatory. But it should not be an elimination round because everyone cannot master everything. People not better in communication does not mean they can perform a task given to them.

So, overall score in conducted tests, gd and interview should be considered & not only gd.

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.
