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.

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.

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.

In my point of view GD is not necessary for technical oriented jobs, because technical jobs have more technical knowledge on their respective jobs only. But marketing and finance and customer support jobs must have communication skills, leader ship qualities, team working skills. If the companies (for technical positions) want to conduct GD for filtering the candidates they should conduct after technical interview.

In my point of view, GD should be a part of campus placements because it helps to know about us like, our communication skills, our confidence level, our body language so on, so, it is the major parameter of communication skills which is considered by campus placements. Also, we can represent our view or opinion in front of everyone.

Yes, I totally agree with the topic that GD is essential part of selection because it checks how much you interact with the other person, GD checks your communication skills, could you speak in front of many persons or not, it checks your leadership quality.

But in other way if your English is weaker then you have to overcome this problem by communicating with friends wheather you are speaking right or wrong don't mind because it develops your confidence level & by learn new meaning, read everyday newspapers.

Your problem is not GD, the problem is your confidence level, it can be boost up.

As every coin has two faces, similarly on this topic it has two sides.

Yes GD must be a part of selection. Why not? It shows your confidence, communication skills, knowledge, common sense and lot more.

But on the other side based on these things you cannot judge a person about his ability regarding job profile.

The candidate must be judge by his overall performance.

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.

Hello everyone,

GD round for campus placement is depend upon for which job it is considered. For a web designer it is important to have a knowledge of web designing rather than communication skills. GD is used to evaluate a person how he explain a thing in a group, how his communication skills is.

And for a web designer it is important that he has knowledge of his field. There should not be eliminate that person who is not able to speak in group but he has knowledge of that field for which he is hiring.

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.
