GD aka Group Discussion makes some students weak in the knees. That is because everyone is looking in your face. You have to speak up and keep talking. Everyone is watching everything. Your diction, style of talking, fillers and facial expressions and body language are gauged.

But Charlie if you are well equipped with current social affairs, general knowledge and basic understanding and most of all confidence you will fly through the GD.

Here is what they look at when enter a group discussion:

Team player – Here they check if you can work in a team. Have patience to hear another person’s point of view.

Reasoning ability – Given a question like ‘How will inflation affect the job scenario’. One must understand the question and think of the various paradigms that can be affected and if there is a solution to it, then how will it be brought about.

Leadership – Given a start how you lead the group. Bring out the maximum potential of the other members. How you play it cool and keep calm yet resolve the given task. You should be able to give direction, co-ordinate, contribute and inspire.

Initiative – This is given a lot of importance, as you have to know when to speak and when to initiate a new topic.

Assertiveness – You have to be sure and confident of what you say. When you are assertive, it shows in your body language.

Flexibility – On one side you have to be open to what others are talking on a topic. But on the other side you cannot keep dribbling with the stand you have taken. At the onset think which side of the fence you want to sit on and then take a side of the debate and stick to it.

Listening and awareness go hand in hand – You must be alert and know what is happening around you. Listen to what others have to say so you are able to gauge the situation and use it to your benefit.

You will score maximum on your initiative that you take in a conversation. Also once you take up a topic if you keep on track then you score more points. Keeping a cool head when everyone is talking or refuting your point of view and then steering the conversation to its path and asserting your point of view will culminate to scoring more points.
