a GD is a formal peer group situation and tests your behaviour as well as your influence on the group. Formal language and mutual respect are obvious requirements. In addition, you need to have:

*Willingness to listen and discuss various points of view. Do not take strong views in
the beginning itself; try and analyse the pros and cons of a situation.
*Learn to disagree politely, if required. In fact, it is far better to put forward your
point of view without specifically saying 'I disagree' or 'You're wrong'.
*Show appreciation for good points made by others. You can make a positive
contribution by agreeing to and expanding an argument made by someone else.
*Size the opportunity to make a summary near the end or, even better, a part summary.
Partial agreement or part consensus is a sign of the group's progress. Complete
agreement is impossible in the timeframe allotted.

Hello Friends,

Group discussion is easiest way to get through 80 % of the interview process. Everyone thinks that starter of the discussion will get more points than others. It is not like that.

They select people who takes part in GD. The candidates of GD must

1. speak pleasantly and politely
2. disagree politely
3. respect the contribution of every participant
4. be aware of one's body language
5. avoid going off the tangent

Note : If the starter of the GD have these above qualities he/she is selected.

The candidates of GD must not do

1. lose one's temper
2. raise the voice unnecessarily
3. try to dominate
4. use too many gestures
5. interrupt in the middle of someone 's speech
