Group discussion means two or many people will sit in a common room and they will describe a topic. On that topic you will speak and other people will do arguments. At that time manager/checker checks you that you become angry or not. How much politeness have in your speech or your given answer.
you must keep in mind some points.

Following are some of the things which you must take care off to succeed in the GD.

Read voraciously

Make a habit of reading voraciously on every subject. This will keep you ready for any topic for a discussion in GD Your knowledge is your most important weapon in a discussion.

Initiate the discussion

Most of us have a misconception that initiating the discussion would give you an advantage over others. It does give you an advantage but only if you know the subject well and have something relevant to start the discussion otherwise it is a disadvantage.

For e.g. When a group was given a subject “Is Capital punishment right?” some members of the group heard the word punishment and jumped at starting the discussion with out understanding the meaning of Capital Punishment. The evaluators kept hearing for 2 minutes after which they intervened and asked the group if they knew the meaning of Capital Punishment. Not to say, the members who initiated were quite looking at each other’s faces. That is when a quite member of the group got up and explained the meaning of the topic. From this incidence, you can easily tell who must have succeeded in the GD, the ones who initiated the discussion or the one who explained the topic and gave it a right direction.

They say, “Speaking just for the sake of speaking is noise”. So, don’t create noise in the GD rather make some useful and resourceful contributions to get noticed in the discussion.

Speak politely and pleasantly

As you speak make sure that you do not speak at the top of your voice. You should be audible and clear. Remember that you are participating in a discussion which is different from a speech given out by the leaders in their rallies. Even if you disagree with the other’s point of view, disagree politely. Use phrases like, I would like to disagree a bit here, I am sorry but I think I have a slightly different point of view here.

Be précised

Abstain from using irrelevant information and data from your talks during a GD Speak precisely so that others also get a chance to put across their point of view.

Acquire and apply knowledge

Stay attentive to the ideas put forward by other group members and keep writing the important points discussed during the GD As you get a chance to speak, put forward your views about the topic. You can also agree or disagree with other’s ideas, based on your knowledge about the subject.
Agree with the right

Don’t take a stand on either extreme when the discussion begins. It might happen that you get convinced by other’s argument and want to change your stand. Respect other’s opinion as well and agree with what is right, even if you initially had a different opinion.

Speak confidently

Maintain your confidence as you speak. Establish eye contact with other members of the group and do not let your voice tremble.
Moderate

Try to moderate the discussion if any arguments arise. This is necessary to ensure that the group doesn’t wander from the goal of the GD
Use positive body language

Your body language should not demonstrate dominance or low self confidence. Show your interest in the discussion through your gestures like bending forward a bit, nodding your head.
Be a team player

Last but not the least, be a team player as this is a group activity. Be comfortable with the group members and vice versa.

dear friend,
The following are the main Tips for success in Group Discussion:

1. Be as natural as possible.Do not try and be someone you are not.Be yourself.
2. A group discussion is your chance to more vocal.The evalutor wants to hear you speak.
3. Take time to organize your thoughts.Think of what you are going to say.
4. Seek clarification if you have any doubts regarding the subject.
5. Don't start speaking until you have clearly understood and analyze the subject.
6. Work out various strategies to help you make an entry.
7. Opening the discussion is not the only way of gaining attention and recognition.
8. Language skills are important only the effect as to how you get your points across clearly and fluently.
9. Be assertive not dominating.
10. Always be polite.
11. Brush up on leadrership skills.

HI

Its easy to get success in GD. You should have knowledge, presentation skill and confidence. Nothing more is needed.

Try to start the discussion.
Give chance to other. But only after you have spoken.
Its difficult to enter the conversation as it become fish market. Try to enter, when the speaking person is about to finish. You can make out that by his/her tone. his/her tone will get lower when he is about to finish.
Instead of making a long comment, make two three comment and at different time.
Try to grab the knowledge and enter into GD, if you dont know the topic.
There are various things which you can say to make your presence felt even if you are not contributing significantly to the discussion like
Can you please elaborate on what you said.? etc
Show your listening ability as well.

all the best
