Should GD be Part of Campus Placements?

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.

GD is better because of that we can know the thoughts and we can know the thinking of the people.

Because of GD people can speak between many people and person can overcome his problem of speaking in between public.

GD is a good process if a company wants to choose the correct candidate because a company can know and check the thinking ability of the candidate.

GD is good if a candidate wants to leave a good impression on company, Interviewer. Company get to know that this person's thinking ability is of which level.

Hi friends,

I think GD is good process for recruitment but it should not be filtering process. It checks communication skills your attitude, confidence level, behavior, way of speaking etc. And these all things are important for good employee but in spite of all thee things some students are afraid of GD they can't speak well in front of people but technically they are superb so the interviewer should judge the student not only with GD but also also with his/her interview also.

Hey friends, my name is Kartik, as far as I am concerned group discussion should be a part of an interview because there is a bundle of people who are knocking the door of the panels for limited jobs so it is the only way to panels that separating the cream out from the bunch of aspirants.

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.

In my opinion GD is important to some extent to select a person. If a person having only good communication skill is not enough for any job. GD should always be known topics then only we know how is his point of view, how he take things in a better way. These days most of job seekers are mainly afraid of GD and JAM sessions in interviews because most of them graduate from regional language. It will definitely affect those guys who are pursuing graduation from regional language.

In my opinion if GD conducted at the final level of interview there is a chance company may not loose the skilled person. What companies did with the person only having communication skills without technical skills. No company in the history survived only having persons with communication skills. Finally what I want to say is GD should not filtering process.

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.

Hello friends,

I would like to add my words GD is an important part of campus recruitment because as an individuals candidate are able to put there point of views & also check that how candidate can stands for there words till the end of the discussion as after some of the others opinion candidate are feel like if there words are true or not.

So, it shows that how much you are confident about your words no matter whether is it right or wrong. Its all about your level of confidence for what you say.

My opinion is GD should not be a part of company process.

Aim of GD is to know whether a person communicates well or not? If the job profile is pure technical what is the need of communication skills there.

Suppose if we take an example of Abdul Kalam Sir, First time when he was searching for a job he got rejected for lack of communication skills this is written in wings of fire but he is missile man of India and president of India. It means if the profile is purely based on technical no need to search about communication skills.

Communication skills are required convey the information. However that comes with one or two years experience in the company. Why I am saying like this is in India many students are studied their elementary education in their mother tongue. Though they have talent they are poor in communication skills.

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.
