How to prepare for group discussion

Date: 19 Apr 2012   Group: Career Guidance    Category: IT jobs   


Right now I am in pursuing my B-TECH in IT branch. Although I have got one job, but some good companies are about to visit for in campus in the first week of May. Their selection process is written test followed by the group discussion and the the technical interview. I have already failed twice to clear the group discussion round. I like to ask the respected members of ISC that what should I do for the preparation of group discussion and how should I present myself during the discussion?

Group discussion is not prepared by self practicing it is practiced by in group because in group you have to chance say your points in front the group members and group members justify or reject your point with their points, in this manner you get practiced for group discussion.
You have many options for it.

1. Join English coaching classes who regularly arranged Group discussion and personal interview classes.
2. You can make your friends groups and discuss regularly one to two hours to each other on the any topic.It is better if you make two teams , in which one put points in favor of topic and other against it.

Hi Pravin Kumar,
Go through a English Newspaper daily and try to get atleast few points on every hot topic. For example, IPL5, just get a high level idea of IPL5 and their performance. Most of the interviewers give the latest hot topics for a group discussion so that everyone in the group can participate.

- Try to initiate the discussion if you are aware of the topic given for the Group discussion, It shows your boldness to talk in the group on a topic and First impression is the best impression
- Try to close the discussion considering all the points given by rest of the members in a group discussion, It shows How well you listen to others and summed up the discussion.
- Practice the Group discussion by forming 6 member group in your leisure time on any topic. For practicality, ask your professor for the topic just 5 minutes before you sit for the Group discussion, this practice helps you to organize your thoughts spontaneously. Else, everyone will be prepared well and talk continuously without gap. If possible, ask your professor to monitor the discussion and to suggest the better way.
- Always give a chance to other members to talk in the group, It shows your respect to the other members of team.
- Try to keep the discussion on track (to the given topic), IF anyone is going out of the scope of the topic, humbly interrupt the discussion and request them to stick to the given topic, it shows leadership skills
- Identify the team member in the group, who have not opened their mouth yet and give them a chance to speak, it shows team working skills.

These are general tips, I can give you at this point of time. As per your statement, you told that, you have already failed twice in the group discussion, If you are specific the weak points in your participation of your Group discussion, then ISC experts will give you nice ideas to overcome them and to succeed in the next interview process.

Feel free to ask any questions.

All the Best.

First analyses your weaknesses from your previous discussion. As you already have undergone experience of group discussion and will be well aware of the procedure, questions, circumstances, hurdles and anticipations etc. Try to strength yourself in weaken area that might be your confidence, way of communication, manners of dealing, tactics of replying questions, presenting yourself in most suitable way for the job. Also try to do rehearsal before the mirror and note your expression. Amend your way of expression you feel anyone not upto mark. Prepare the most asked subject comprehensively and trust in God.
