Questions related to Group Discussion / Group Exercise
Q. Was Group Discussion
or Group Exercise part of selection process?
A. Yes. There was a GD in which we had to discuss an article that was
provided.
Q. The duration of GD,
size of the group, number of panelists, etc.
A. The GD lasted for around 15 minutes, it had 2 panelists and 10
participants.
Q. What was your GD
topic?
A. It was an article on the importance of words.
Q. Tell us about your
GD experience?
A. The GD was not a fish-market though it was fairly competitive. I came
in 2-3 times. Almost everybody got a chance to speak. 3 people were chosen from
our group.
Q. How was the
environment during discussion?
A. There was one person who spoke a lot during the GD, the others came in
around 1-2 times. The atmosphere was never heated and nobody raised their voices
needlessly.
Q. Describe your
impression of the your team members and overall GD process ?
A. The GD was very professional. There were just 2 freshers in a group of
10 and the professionalism showed. There were no interruptions while any member
was speaking. All in all, it was a good experience.
Q. Some handy tips that
would be of great help.
A. Tips would be to never get desperate. Keep trying to make your point.
There are marks for trying. Don't get tense if you are unable to get in
initially. A good way of making an impression is by going against the grain of
the group's discussion. This would make your point stand out and would be
brought up in the interview also.
Q. Were there any set
norms of Group Discussion?
A. We were just given 5 minutes to read the article and were asked to not
turn the discussion into a fish market.
