In my point of view GD is not necessary for technical oriented jobs, because technical jobs have more technical knowledge on their respective jobs only. But marketing and finance and customer support jobs must have communication skills, leader ship qualities, team working skills. If the companies (for technical positions) want to conduct GD for filtering the candidates they should conduct after technical interview.

I feel that it is a good practice where people with good communication skills are required. But when it comes to their knowledge it might result in loss of an intellectual person. Sometimes people have a bunch of knowledge but the stage freight hinders them from entering into a good company. So if group discussion is eliminated such people will be more confident and the company will also not loose a techno-maniac.

HI FRIENDS.
I think conducting gd in campus placements is better but depending upon only gd they should not select the member because the person may not feel well I mean he/she may suffer from throat pain or cold something else but at that time she/he know full topic and can speak but due to the problems they may not at that particular situation. So I think that conducting gd in campus placements is not better.

Hello friends,
In my point of view GD is not a part of Campus placement. Because in the GD they check our talking style, our body language and our participation as well as they check our concentration and how to give a chance to other participant. And in the campus placement they check our confidence and our current affairs knowledge and many more.
So I think GD is not a part of campus placement.
Thank You.

I also agree with my friends that GD should be a part of campus placement. With the help of GD we can easily know about the mentality and confidence level of that person. We can see their skills, ideas, innovation n the most important their method to convey their ideas to others. GD is basically a procedure to know much about a person in as much as short time. So GD should be a part of campus placement.

I think it depends on the company whether it is marketing company or a technical company (core company). In a marketing company where one needs to interact with clients and sort out issues, people need a good communication skill. Then GD would be necessary. If its a core company where one needs to design something or build something, then in my opinion GD need not be there as an elimination 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.

Hi friends,
I would like to share my opinion on given topic. I agree that if someone who's communication skill is not so good but he is technically strong it may consider as he not right for job, but by GD we can share our thoughts expressively and it shows our team building capabilities. Coin has always two sides, someone take it as positive way and someone take it as negative way.
Thank you,

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.
