Should GD be Part of Campus Placements?

GD of course have a very important role in a recruitment process. We can judge a candidate very well about their communication skill, confidence level and the leadership quality as well. We can judge their thinking process as well.

HI FRIENDS.

I think conducting gd in campus placements is better but depending upon only gd they should not select the member because the person may not feel well I mean he/she may suffer from throat pain or cold something else but at that time she/he know full topic and can speak but due to the problems they may not at that particular situation. So I think that conducting gd in campus placements is not better.

GD should be a part of campus recruitment.

Only marketing companies must consider it as criteria for selection purpose. In marketing companies there will requirement to have good communication, which can be tested in GD.

Whereas in other core companies, GD should be held but not consider it as the criteria for selection purpose.

Candidates may not be good in communication but good at other areas like coding, testing etc.

Hello Friends.

In my point of course group Discussion is a main process on recruiting a candidate for any post. But now-a-days, GD is conducted as a filtering process in many companies.

This way of recruiting a candidate should be changed.

GD is important only for to express our communication skill, our leadership quality, but on considering the company's growth it is more important for to check their technical & analytic part.

By proving the last mentioned two parts one should posses a good part on any companies growth.

Thank you !

According to my point of view no, it is not necessary that GD be a part of campus placement it is because so many students are not able in GD's but they have much better skills related to the job profile. Many candidates knows about the topic but they scared in front of the recruiter.

It very well known that water plays a very important role in human life. Can you imagine even a single day without a drop of water and the answer is obviously no. There is no meaning of comparing water with any soft drink because water is something which is naturally available and we know that all the soft drinks are artificial one and it makes even our bones to get dissolved. In rural areas welfare camp has to be conducted and in rainwater harvesting system has to be promoted in all houses of rural areas and awareness has to be given to them.

Of course, not.

In my view it should be part of skills development subject in the colleges. In Today's world, people aware of so many languages. But if we come to the company's point, They need a candidate who can well performed in their communication skill (English).

So, It's better to be in colleges so that the students can improve their communication skill starting from there but almost only the standard colleges provides a chance for the students to get interact with the people. Is it enough? Not at all. Most of the schools are result oriented but college should not be like that because our career starts from there. In fact, they should work on career oriented not result oriented.

Thank you.

In my perspective GD should not be the part of the campus placement because instead of that extempore should be their for the students to check their communication skills as far as assessment concern.

Gd in the campus placement is some time barrier to the good technical knowledge student but unfortunately he lose the opportunity to get place in the dream company, fish market in the GD may results in the not selection of the any candidates.

2. GD is always based on the topic but the topic which is provided by the panelist may be come from various sectors so this may create the problem for the content which important for speaking fluently.

3. Extempore with the 3 options can create the great opportunity to speak out confidently after all communication and body language all these are the cover in it.

Thank you!

As per my experience or my point of view, companies should not rely on selecting candidates on the basis of GD's. I m not saying that GD's should be eliminated from selection process. What I m saying is that it should not be given much weightage. How can a person be wholly judged by his/her communication skills or on the basis of how he/ she is interacting with others. I t is not necessary that a person who is proficient in many working skills will be good in taking part in a discussion just to make others agree on his/her thoughts. Or if we see it from the side of a person who is good in Gd's then also it is not possible that every that candidate who has performed well in discussion will be good at working in the organization.

Before that, we must decide weather the company is selecting intelligent and hardworking people or those who are talkative and smart in discussions. Sometimes people do not get thoughts in mind while discussing and so not able to speak. And there are many people who are of reserved type and do not speak a lot or not social. Then also they get hesitated while speaking.

Same thing happens to me also that I can not speak well on a topic in 5 - 10 minutes. Rather I can write it (manually) in an excellent way. So it does not mean that I am bad at speaking part. Then how can I be judged on that criteria. If I would have given a chance to speak upon the same, then I could not have spoken in such an elaborated manner.

I have seen many people who are not good in studies but are performing very well on Gd part. In a working organization, working skills are more important. And to be good in speaking you do not need to face Gd's everyday. People who are good in speaking will speak well. For that his/ her communication skill can be judged personally also.

THANK YOU.

To be Frank That's Not A gd in placement Scenario. In My Entire life I never knew a professional group discussion to be ended with many people shouting. If GDs is what corporate world mean during recruiting process, they should allot some more time.

An Excellent gd comprises of sharing opinions and reaching Conclusions unanimously but in such competitive scenario all norms are broken and is turned to a quarrel. A debate is diff. Than a GD. The Real And appreciative GDs happens within the organisation for considering several points delivered in intellectual way not shouting! So I think GDs should be there but it should be judged by several traits of candidate, not the person eager to dominate or shout with any fallacies.
