Group Discussions
Although Group Discussions, commonly referred to as ‘GD’, is regarded as one of the common headhunting tactics, the nuances and rationale behind GD remains largely unknown.
The underlying idea of a group discussion session is to know the aspirants’ level of communication skills, about how well an aspirant can understand and demonstrate his/her thought related to the topic, the judement of the pace and direction of the conversation etc.
Given that the aspirant is going to work with teams in future; Group Discussions helps the assessor to judge how the aspirant will fit in the organization/institution. It helps them to estimate the apparent team behavior at a macro level in future.
It’s a platform showcasing an exchange of ideas where one can contribute ones views on a given topic.
