Should GD be Part of Campus Placements?

Yes, I think GD should be part of campus placements because it shows your views towards any topic, your personality and the way you present things in front of people effectively. It also shows your ability to talk in a group impressively having eye contact with every group member and having the capability to listen to other's ideas and views. These things are so important in knowing that person's character to place him or not because nowadays there is a tough competition in campus placements so many more activities are taken to get best of all students from campus placements.

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.

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".

Yes, GD should be a part of campus placements because it helps companies to judge the candidate's communication skills, leadership, quick decision making, knowledge in the field. But sometimes students don't have broad knowledge in other fields so they are not able to speak up in GD and GD is the round taken at the beginning of any interview process which makes the candidate out of the competition at very beginning even if he/she has technical knowledge in their field. So I think GD should be a part of campus placements but topics should be relevant to their field.

According to my point of it should be depend on for what job you are hiring a person. Like if you are hiring a person for a technical job then it shouldn't be there because he may not be good in communication but he must be good in technical. You can take a technical round for that.

Apart from that if you are hiring a candidate for a corporate world then you should take gd as a selection process. Because in corporate world your focus, communication, listening, team work, leadership skill will matter.

So according to me it depends on the job profile.

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 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.

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.

In my opinion, GD should be a part of campus recruitment because is helps HR to know the confidence level of candidates, communication skills, knowledge about current affairs and how he can express his views!

As we all know nowadays we have to work on projects and teamwork! Good communication skills help us to make a good bond with our team workers, so we can explain them without any conflicts.

Although technical skills also very important! If a person does not have any knowledge! He/she cannot help the company so we should make a balance.

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 !
