Recruitment is a process where candidates are taken through various steps before someone is finally selected for a job. Every company has its own recruitment process.
There are certain steps that candidates are made to go through that are called elimination rounds.
Some of the elimination rounds can be verbal ability tests, essay writing tests, Just a Minute (JAM), and Group discussions popularly known as GD.
No matter what the academic performance of the candidate, if he is not able to ace the GD round he will be eliminated and will lose his opportunity to join that particular organization.
A group discussion is used to judge various qualities of the participating candidates, most common being communication skills, leadership skills, interpersonal skills.
An individual preparing for such a recruitment process should start to get their feet wet by reading a lot about what a GD is and how to perform in a GD.
Once the fundamentals of GD are clear and he understands what is expected of him in a GD, he can start preparing for group discussion.
Now, this is not a blog where we discuss how to prepare for a GD. You can do your own research and get clarity on that.
