Should GD be Part of Campus Placements?

GD should be a part of campus placement, by GD recruiter can check student's communication skill, how they express themselves, their positive attitude, leadership quality, talking manner etc & it is also helpful for students also they express their thoughts in right way.

Yes, GD must be a part of campus selection. Many of us thinks that some people with good communication skills, fluent English and interpersonal skills will get the job instead of them who have good technical knowledge, but with less fluent English and also poor communication skills. Actually this is not the case. GD is only the part of selection criteria, it's not for final selection. This is also right that you must possess both communication skills and technical knowledge to manage company and those who are at selection panel know already about this situation. So in conclusion GD should be a part of campus selection.

Friends, according to me GD has lost it's purpose lately. Now candidates think louder and faster they speak, chances of their selection are more, due to this people even don't listen what others are trying to say. So according other activities such as group activity may be good replacement where everyone get equal chances and everyone work as a team.

We must look on both the side of court and stating GD as less important factor for job selection will be wrong. At the same time there is other side when a person is good at work and not in discussion. So as per best of my opinion, GD is good but should not be the only selection criteria.

In my opinion, GD should not be a part of selection because GD shows only communication skills it doesn't shows that how knowledge you have in technical field?

Hello everyone, so our topic name is should group discussion be part of campus placements. In my opinion, GD must be part of campus placements. Because GD is a powerful screening device. The panel can judge many candidates at a time so it saves time. Also, a candidate's leadership qualities, how he/she supports other's opinions in the sense overall personality of the candidate can be identified.

I think GD should be part of campus placements because through GD they actually detect our speaking skills, leadership skills, smartness, concentration, polite nature. So, and as we get int MNCs so its necessary that we are smart enough to deal with companies smartly.

Hi Friends,

GD is carried out to understand the communication ability of the candidate in this process we may not give focus to the people who have good basic in Technic. They may fail communication but they will be good in their technical knowledge. This is the major issue we may face during GD in Campus Placement.

Yes, it should be. In the group discussion, the recruiter gets to know more about the candidate, about their personality, their leadership skills, how they put forth their ideas and listen to others without judgment. With technical skills, the person should have the ability to express themselves else there is no use of that knowledge. The company pays you for your skills, talents. So rather than giving them excuses one should work on their soft skills.

Yes, GD should be made mandatory in campus placements. GD enables people to select the better candidate. It helps to test not only the knowledge but also the listening skills, leadership qualities, initiation and team work capabilities which are necessary for the job seekers.
