Should GD be Part of Campus Placements?

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.

Yes.

Because with the help of GD HR can judge the following quality.

1- Leadership quality.

2- Communication skill.

3- Knowledge about any field.

4- Instant decision-making property.

5- Good solution.

Do you want to show your English communication skill than GD is very important?

GD is important in an interview. GD is shown the talent of the candidate.

Thy know that he/she can able to work for them.

In my opinion, GD should not be part of campus placement because of some of the student technically very smart but they can't expose their self in front of peoples. Sometimes irrelevant topics are given in the placement drive some of the students have not broad knowledge but they have good knowledge of their field.

It should be a part of the job. Because it's the only way by which we can improve our communication skill.

Good Evening,

The topic for discussion is Should GD be Part of Campus Placements?

"Words have a lot of Power"- Using goods words is very important for to give an impression.

But much more important is how to use this good words in a proper manner and that's what we called COMMUNICATION SKILLS. Having good communication skills is very necessary.

So, I totally agree with GDs should be Part of Campus Placements. It really helps Company judging students who are having good communication and confidence.

The company obviously will be wanting the students having good communication skills, So that after joining.

That student can handle the company and the employees can communicate to their customers`and brings the project to the company.

GD is a part of communication skills and the not learning part which improve when we are meet the great man with the discussion. So, GD is very important because it part of campus placement.

Yes. GD should part of placement. 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".

Definitely, because each one has their own ideas and thoughts. To express their ideas regarding an issue GD's are must. Through GD's one's communication skills are tested. How do approach to a problem can also be justified? Their body language and the way of speaking and accent can also be understood in GD. So, without GD it is a waste to conduct placements.

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.
