Should GD be Part of Campus Placements?

Yes,

GD should be the part of Campus Placements. GD will declare the capacity of the person and how he/she is communicating with an another person and it's shows that the English skills of the person and also Leadership Qualities. It's shows the Behaviour and attitude of a person.

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.

I think gd is important in any type of interview process because it reflects the ability of a candidate that how confident he can share his thoughts and express his point of view. Group discussion indicates how good our communication skills, leadership skills. In work place, we need to communicate with others as we must work as a team. In technical job also he or she may be asked by some nontechnical questions and that time he or she must be getting ready to give an answer of that question properly. Discussion on a given topic among 15 or more students gives us confidence and reduces shyness.

At the end, I would like to say that gd is important also it is true that gd is not the only judging parameter that indicates a student is good or not. But to get confident on ourselves we need concentrate both on our relative job skills and communication skills. All the best everyone for your career. Thank you.

Well, the scenario is it doesn't matter if it is part or not. The mandatory skillset & a mindset that is needed in working that's what is needed today & all the students whether it is management guy, bsc or technical we are framed & we are shaped throughout our lifestyle in such a way that we can accept new things really quickly. It was used to be a time when students were called by companies to take interview, but today because everone wants to do engineering & do study the competition has increased so much that the same kind of capability & potential can be found out in 1000 students so nobody is precious nowadays, if you don't want to go its ok there are 999 students as similar as you which can get a job, so all these things gd, aptitude are the methods to shortening the list of students so that the interviewer doesn't get bored while taking interview. That's it.

Yes, GD should be a part of campus placement it helps to find out the qualities of a person like comm skills thought process critical thing leadership supporting nature and boldness.

Gd helps to find out a person which is capable to do a job in better a way.

Gd may used to find out the hidden quality of a person.

Well, my answer to the question would definitely be a 'YES' since it portrays 'you', your thought process. Now whether it should be given utmost importance? I don't think.

If companies start giving importance to such things, they'll probably have only a bunch of TALKERS hired.

I would like to share my opinion on given topic. GD should not be a part of company process. An aim of GD to know the person communication skills well or not? The useful of GD is checking the candidates thinking innovation skills and knowledge about the environment skills.

The negative of GD is someone is very talent in technical skills but the same time their feeling uncomfortable. At that time they do not speak.

GD there are various qualities checked.

Attitude.

Thinking power.

Communication Skills.

Listening skills.

The behavior of sitting and speaking.

A way of express their view.

And we know ENGLISH language also. So improve our communication skills m.

GD can be a good option to select cadets but not best. If we compare GD at college placements or some recruitment places to the person who are sitting at higher position discussing India's problem and reached a common consensus by taking every person opinion for improvements equally but at college level cadets are thinking about their job only try to participate in GD create fish market doesn't reach consensus or proper views exchanging thus it fails but at national level it works very efficiently.

In my point of view, group discussion is really helpful for people to improve their speaking skills, leadership skills, communication skills as well. But GD should not be the part of campus placement only, it should be made compulsory in school also because many of students who have not done gd previously for them it is very difficult to express their thoughts. For an introvert gd is the hardest phase of an interview.

Gd is really important to get rid of consciousness.

Group discussion should be a part of campus placement. Having only academical and technical knowledge is not enough. One should have good communication and interaction skill.

GD is just not about how much aggressive you are or how much knowledge you posses its about how you communicate in a group. And I believe this is capability is within every human.
