ANSWER 2 B)

Group discussions are designed to evaluate you on:

Communication skills: While language fluency is a skill that is evaluated, greater weight-
age is given to the ability to present your idea/point, clarity of thought and the tone of
delivery.

Example:

o Using simple language to get your point across

o Explaining ideas clearly and a consistent pace without rushing to finish your sentence

Leadership skills: In every group discussion, 1 or 2 candidates stand out for their leadership
skills. This involves being able to lead the discussion in the right direction, steer the
discussion back to the topic when it goes off track and step up as the moderator for chaotic
groups.

Example:

o Initiating group discussions

o Ability to steer the discussion back to the topic if it’s going on a tangent
o Moderating group discussions; especially when discussions get heated up

Listening skills: The ability to communicate is important, but one’s listening skills also are
also important. Evaluators look at your ability to listen without interjecting, pick ideas/facts
from the discussion and building on their points.

Example: Summarizing the main points of an entire group discussion at the end

Personality: Most candidates assume that to stand out from the crowd they have to speak
louder or cut-off other candidates mid-discussion to prove their point. Evaluators do not like
the attitude where you let your emotions take over the discussion. One can deliver a point
across without being loud or harsh. It’s important to have a positive attitude, accept opposing
views and be supportive of other candidates.

Example:

o Exhibiting maturity by having a control over your emotions

o Supportive of other members

Reasoning ability: Candidates are also evaluated on their ability to substantiate their points
by proper reasoning. If a point of the statement is claimed to be true, then the candidate as to
justify their argument. If the candidate fails to do so, then one loses points on their overall
score.

Example: If your topic is “Demonetization in India”, you would need to take a stand
(For/Against) and logically provide facts, real-life examples and present it well to the entire
group. One cannot state “demonetization was good/bad in India” without providing any
justification for that statement.

General knowledge: Most of the time GD topics revolve around current affairs and general
awareness issues. Candidates have to stay up to date on all the happenings around the world.
Your knowledge of current affairs and ability to present the idea demonstrates your presence
of mind, worldly knowledge and also how to implement the knowledge acquired.

Example: While discussing climate change and its impact on the earth, a candidate can refer
to the Paris Climate Accord within the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate
Change (UNFCCC) and discuss what entails in saving the planet from pollution. This would
include dealing with greenhouse gas emissions mitigation, adaptation and finance.

Flexibility

This means openness to another person's ideas and also being open to the evaluation of one's
own ideas. To stay flexible in a group discussion, try to create a framework and avoid taking
a stand in the beginning.

For instance, if the topic is 'Should India go to war with Pakistan?', some participants may get
emotionally attached to the topic and take a stand.

But, by taking a stand, a person has reached a conclusion, even without discussing the topic
at hand or listening to the views of his or her team members.

Moreover, if a person who has taken a stand faces a very strong point against his point at the
11th hour, he is in a typical Catch 22 situation.

1. If he changes the stand, he is seen as a fickle-minded or whimsical person.

2. If he does not change his stand, he is seen as inflexible, stubborn and obstinate.

Flexibility is an important personality trait. A person who is flexible will have less sharp
corners in his personality and his friction with people around will also be less.

Assertiveness

Being assertive is all about being positive, confident and emphatic. An assertive person has
an inherent ability to put his point across the group in a friendly and confident manner. His
body language is positive and he has a friendly disposition towards fellow group members.

Initiative

Initiating a group discussion is a double-edged sword. It can make or mar your performance
rating. Starting well has huge benefits, but even the slightest mistake in the beginning gets
highlighted and puts one in a bad light. So, initiate only if one is well versed with the topic
and is confident enough to take a lead by showing the group some direction.

Creativity/Out of the box thinking

An idea or perspective that opens new horizons for a discussion on the topic is highly
appreciated in a GD. For example, while conducting a GD on the 'US invasion on Iraq', a
participant once came out with an innovative point related to the theory of 'Euro vs. Dollar'.

It was put across very convincingly and discussed at length by the group.
At another GD on 'Men can cook better than women', a participant added a new dimension by
bringing in a fresh perspective like 'Cooking is not only about food. I know men can cook
better lies than women.' Fresh ideas are always appreciate.

Inspiring ability

A good group discussion should incorporate the views of all team members. If some
members want to express their ideas but are not getting an opportunity to do so, giving them
an opportunity will be seen as a positive leadership trait.

Listening

This is a very important skill. It is said that humans have been gifted with two ears and one
mouth. Apart from being a good listener, there should be a balance between the expression of
your ideas and imbibing the ideas of others.

Awareness

In today's dynamic environment, a manager should be well versed with both the micro and
macro environments. Your awareness about your environment helps a lot in your GD content,
which carries maximum weight.

Apart from these qualities, communication skills, confidence and the ability to think on one's
feet are also very important.
