GROUP DISCUSSIONS can be on Current Politics, Social Events or Situations. In Group Discussion generally, Contents of Discussion are not seen but the Leadership Qualities. Are you a discussion hogger or shy discussing in a group. Interviewer look for quite leaders not loud or pushy participants. If the group become too loud or with too many aggressive people, try raising your hand to speak instead of shouting over the group when you want to contribute your ideas to the discussion. Helping other Participants and making a valuable contribution, should be done to create the right impression. If you lead the group into discussion, try to close the discussion in the specified time given.


HOW TO HANDLE A GROUP DISCUSSION ?

INITIATE THE DISCUSSION: The Observers mark you on this. If you start a Group Discussion once the Topic is provided to you, you will earn points for yourself


DON'T BREAK OTHERS' OPINIONS ABRUPTLY: Never directly interrupt if the other person is presenting his/her point. Try to Politely interfare by saying, "I agree with you to a certain extent, but I think...." or "You are right Mr. X but I feel..."


SUMMERIZE THE DISCUSSION: The Observers watch you for closing the Discussion with a Proper Summary of the Outcome of the discussion. Summarize the Discussion if you feel that there is no more discussion left on that topic. Be the first one to do so, and get the points !


DON'T TALK TO THE OBSERVERS: In a Group Discussion, always talk to the others participating in the Group Discussion, and not the Observers
