Should GD be Part of Campus Placements?

G. D is a way to filter out candidates on a bulk basis.

GD should be made compulsory during placements.

I would like to strengthen my argument by providing the picture of the work culture in a company, M.N.C's in particular.

People don't work individually rather they work in groups as teams.

Now, if an HR recruiter hires a person without filtering the candidates via GD round.

He would bring a person who is not capable of understanding the strength of a team.

Now you may ask how this would affect the company?

At this point, I would like to mention that if a certain task is assigned to the person in the lime light, he might not be able to handle the social pressure or peer pressure.

SO, basically, GD is conducted in order to access a candidates team skills and to access his skills under pressure.

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.

GD is a process to check the communication skill of any student who participant in campus drive but it is not a necessary process because some student are strong in technical but they fell uncomfortable in GD.

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.

I think that GD should not be a part of campus placement as interview is sufficient to know about the confidence, speaking skills, personality and knowledge. GD is only a part of the drive to filter the lots of candidates for the interview.

In my opinion, GD should be a part of campus placement. Recruiter gets to know about candidate like leadership quality, communication skills, wide knowledge. Gd improves myself that how to interact with people, how to put any ideas in proper way so other person agrees with my point. In any job company, we can see most of the time we interact with consumer. And also we talk with seniors they want to know our opinion. If we have no quality to express myself then this is bad for me and company.

I would like to say that gd teach me how to express yourself in the front of boss, seniors and your colleague.

According to my opinion, gd should or should not be the part of campus it's all depends on the profile of job if the job is technical so there is a no need of GD because in technical job our first preference is technical skills and secondary is communication skills because of secondary we can't we reject anyone if the job is nontechnical so communication skills is more important.

GD should not be made compulsory at least for a technical interview, because it has got nothing to do with checking a person's knowledge on a particular subject that's not technical. Of course, communication skill will be developed if the person starts working with a team in the company. Besides that, there is no use in conducting a GD. Sometimes GD's also conducted to eliminate mass bunk of students which won't be required in a technical interview because there won't be many candidates left after the technical round to conduct a GD. So, unless It's not a technical interview there is no point in conducting a GD.

Dear friends, our GD topic is should GD be a part of campus placements. In my opinion it is the requirement of job profile. If it is a managerial post then it is required and if it's a technical post then it's not necessary. But it is a plus point of a candidate. If you are good at GD it's mean that you can better express yourself and it helps to engage in group activity.

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.
