ABOUT
GROUP DISCUSSION
What is the normal duration of a GD?
This is a myth.
Generally the person who has a sound
knowledge of the topic and is a clear thinker
speaks more.
This leads the students into believing that
whoever speaks most is successful. But just
speaking for the sake of speaking will not
take you far.
Will I be quizzed about my (or others)
participation in the GD?
No.
Ifthe group has not reached a conclusion,
then it would be good if someone puts the
whole discussion into perspective by
summarizing.
But if there isn't sufficient time, a summary
may be avoided.
Is voting an acceptable method of
reaching a consensus?
Certainlynot.
A GD is not a debate.
How should a group select a topic if
asked to?
No.
Topics are usually general in nature to give a
level playing field to everyone.
What do I do if one member is very
stubborn and aggressive?
