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".

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.

My personal opinion is that GD is useful in judging a candidate's social outlook. But I have experienced that the rules for GD are not many a times followed. Many candidates don't give other a chance to put up their view, here his points should be cut for not having proper listening skills. But it doesn't happen this way, the candidate gets selected. Wherein the other guy who is waiting n behaving obediently for his chance gets rejected.

Another drawback is that after a some time of discussion you feel that your opposite point is right is more convincing then you can't change your side. It will be counted as a negative point. So then it gives the feel of a debate more than a group discussion.

I would like to share my opinion on given topic. GD should not be a part of company process. An aim of GD to know the person communication skills well or not? The useful of GD is checking the candidates thinking innovation skills and knowledge about the environment skills.

The negative of GD is someone is very talent in technical skills but the same time their feeling uncomfortable. At that time they do not speak.

GD there are various qualities checked.

Attitude.

Thinking power.

Communication Skills.

Listening skills.

The behavior of sitting and speaking.

A way of express their view.

And we know ENGLISH language also. So improve our communication skills m.

Yeah, Gd should be part of campus recruitment. But I should be taken a bonus one not a compulsory GD helps to predict how a person think toward a particular thing what is it approaches the thing whether he can find creative idea fr the problem to be solved. GD is imp for example if you have a mango and you can't able to eat then there is no meaning of mango in your hand. Just like you have the knowledge and you are not able to deliver than it has no meaning. But one thing should be considered. If a person is good in communicating thing related to its technical and at the same time he is a little bit bad in doing other communication than it should be considerable.

Hi fellas,

To all of you who think it is a essential part of hiring process, tell me one thing did you attend your GD just like that without any preparation.

If yes, the basic goal which GD is supposed to satisfy is not fulfilled in real life scenario is different and totally unexpected. One more thing I am from Chennai, I was allowed to speak only in English in GD whereas in Northern India you are allowed to speak in native language (Hindi), and again another factor which is neglected in all of the GD, "language".

Finally I like to finish it of by saying that GD should not be a part of hiring process rather an hands on experience should be encouraged.

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.

Yes, I hope that GD should be a part of campus placement, you know there is market competition in every sector. And if you want to stay in market, then you have to be a all rounder. I mean only technical degree will not work. You have to convince to public. And public will under stand then of course they will demand your product. So there is good communication skill is needed for you. If you have it is so soon good for you and your company. Because if you are smart then other are smarter then you. So be perfect.

GD in-hence our personalty, convention skill, and many more. So GD should be part of campus placement more important.

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.
