How are you marked in a GD?


There are certain macro and micro parameters on which each candidate is marked in a group discussion. Only after evaluating on each of these parameters does the moderator selects or rejects a candidate. Following is the most common list of parameters on which you will be marked on. This is also the most likely sheet of paper the a moderator keeps with himself.

How should you make your point?


Like the previous question, rarely do we get a structured and precise answer for this question as well. Having taken part in many group discussions and having judged many other group discussions myself, I have come up with an elaborate and structured answer to this question in my course. Here is an excerpt of the same. When a candidate speaks to his/her point in a group discussion, I as a moderator will judge him/her on three main parameters. They are; 1. Content 2. Verbal Communication 3. Non Verbal Communication

CONTENT
The point that you are about to make must Express richness (diversity/innovative) of your thoughts. Be structured* Express your knowledge (facts/quote) on the topic.

Be relevant to the topic and the point that the group might be discussing at that moment.

VERBAL COMMUNICATION
The way you put your content/point forward is also very important. It must Be simple and devoid of any jargons. Be precise and short. Not be extreme in thoughts.

Be practical rather than ideal.

Express modulation in your voice.

NON VERBAL COMMUNICATION


While you are making your point your body language speaks simultaneously. It tells a lot about you. While speaking you must Maintain eye contact with all the members. Body should be relaxed and calm. Hand movements should be controlled.
