Should GD be Part of Campus Placements?

Yes, GD should be also the part of a campus selection gd reflects the capacity to identify that person who profounds in communicational skill or not that it indicates the act of living, act of doing any work, attitude, or etc.

But now there is a big question arise here that "is only gd dime a dozen to choose any candidate to the job" I think the answer is " no".

Because in my point of view it is only important to take a job in private sectors because in private areas there is a big place of soft skill that is GD because a big work in private that how to communicate a person, how you give profit to your company.

But if we talk about technical job mainly government EG: ISRO, DRDO, NTRO, RRCAT, BARC, SDSC, or any research center job here technical knowledge keeps significant role and here a most important thing is that, have you kept technical knowledge or not.

So mainly in technical jobs technical knowledge is a primary thing and after that gd keeps the secondary thing.

But yes, If I talk about private jobs where I have to do counter work then here gd keeps a big significant.

So, in last I will say that according to the requirement that is according to the nature of job GD is necessary.

Thank you.

GD is one of the best because they show your knowledge talent and other skills also.

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.

GD is a mean of checking how well an individual would be able to work in a team. Since every individual needs to work in a team in any Software Company, it is very important to know whether the candidate would be able to mingle and move along with the other members of his team.

Also group discussions are a part of the selection process because, it is a part of every employee in his work field to attend meetings, discuss brief ideas and showcase their project development, and GD's help in knowing the capacity of the individual to attend such meetings.

But when it comes to purely technical companies like electronic or chemical core companies group discussions should not be a part of the selection process as technical knowledge is not communication skills, instead it is subject knowledge.

Hi Friends,

In my opinion, GD can be a part of selection process, but should not a filtering process.

Many students who are strong in their technical domains lack in their communication skills, this would not help them to expose their valuable and precious thoughts in front of others.

To showcase anyone talent, Communication skills plays a vital role. GD not only helps to share one's valuable thoughts and ideas regarding the subject but also helps in building a good team player and team leader which are essential in today's scenario.

So, its important that GD should be a part of selection process.

GD should not be a part of campus placements.

GD brings about the leadership qualities rather than the managerial and technical qualities. More aggressive and dominating people dominate over the whole GD and can get selected even though if their managerial skills are poor.

This is the main reason why most of the IIMS, the most prestigious b-schools, are removing GDs from their selection process.

Yes, I agree that GD plays a pivotal role in analysing the communication skills of the individual. It should be made compulsory for all the campus placement because whenever we get placed into a company we will have to deal with people more than with machines. And in this scenario, the power of communication will benefit the individual. Sometimes one has to negotiate, convince, communicate in such scenario one must be good in communication no matter how good you are in technically sound. Without communication skills, it would be almost impossible to climb up in the hierarchy of the company.

As per my view, Gd should be part of the interview by which he comes to know how the person expresses his idea and showcase his communication skill but toward Technical section, only communication skill is not sufficient person also should have sufficient knowledge of field so. It never to be compulsory or there is no elimination in gd in specially technical interview.

Hello friends,

I think GD should be a part of placement procedure but only to some extent.

Like in technical or core companies should not involve GD in their placement process as they need knowledge and technicians not a person who can only talk in public because some peoples are introvert who can talk with people comfortably when they have no fear and when they are familiar with those people to whom they are talking to.

On the other hand in consultancy companies too it should not be given that much weight age as is given to the personal interviews and their skill should be tested there only.

GD Should part of campus placement because GD shows your thinking style, positive attitude about that topic. How can you express yourself in companies and team also? It also shows how to tackle any situation. It job even though they are not educates. It shows knowledge about that topic. If any one is opposite to your views then what is your reaction towards that person.
