PREFACE
T hroughout the last two centuries in general and the last seventy years in particular have been the age of incessant experiment in every field as if the older generation knew nothing, and whatever the elders did was full of flaw. But changes in almost everything, ansd ever changing theories and practical amply proves that during this long period the modern man has not been able to give a single stable theory and any lasting practical approach. Nothing has come to stay. One theory has been replaced by another theory and one system has been replaced by another system. Group Discussion, popularly known as GD is no exception. It has come as a replacement to interview.
This system was introduced about a decade back as the comparative strength of the candidate was not weighed through interview. So, many candidates are called at a time, given a topic and asked to express their views on the given topic. Whatever is said by different candidates remains in view and consideration: simultaneously for a long time, even when the GD is over. This gives an opportunity to the judges to study the candidates, compare their strength and weakness, and the best candidate is selected. It appears to be a novel idea.
In the past, kings and merchants used to send their experts to Gurukuls to select persons of their liking. The Gurus used to help them by pointing out the merits and demerits of their students. The experts used to talk to the students directly or hear them talk from a distance or watched them doing something, then took the decision. Similar things are happening now. The Institutions are informed about the need. The Human Resource Officials visit the Institution on the fixed date and interviews through group discussion are held and the candidates are selected on that basis.
Organizations think of its merit and demerit. The candidates have to think of actual GD and make necessary preparations to sail it out successfully.
This book is complete in itself as a guide and companion, and if read attentively and followed sincerely one will succeed in any and every GD that either one faces or arranges because it presents each obvious and hidden aspect of a GD and meticulously and step wise prepares a candidate. Go ahead, enjoy it and follow it.
Sarve Shubhe!

SECTION 1 Mental Preparation – Knowing and Feeling
CHAPTER 1 Group Discussion and Introduction
A group discussion, popularly known as GD and will be frequently called GD here, is a new version of interview deliberately structured in a way so as to take away the monotony from the traditional interview. Although equal opportunity is given to each candidate, since they have to maintain decorum and stick to the given topic, all the latent abilities of any one candidate do not come to the fore. But it gives an opportunity to the selectors to select the best candidate from the lot available or participating.
A Group and a Topic for Discussion
As the term itself suggests, a GD is a discussion, but most students misconstrue it to be a debate. They consider it to be a wrestling-match and try to score points over other participants. Consequently, a GD turns into a ‘fish market’. What is actually expected in a GD is participation in a systematic way to express one’s views on a particular topic so that the thought, thinking process and inner possession of the candidates is judged.
The prospect of a GD tends to leave most students petrified. You can get rid of that feeling of fear by remembering that you have experienced group discussions right from your childhood. Remember those heated discussions you had across the dinner table with family members, friends and relatives? Consciously or unconsciously, they have helped you learn a thing or two about discussing in a group.
Your parents may have come across as the most heard and respected as they were much better informed than you. Besides, instead of forcing their point of view on you, they heard you out and presented their points in a logical and methodical manner because they had the strength of content and courage of conviction.
As a result, you would have often felt the desire to prove that you were right and they were wrong. A bundle of angst would build within you.
Discard that feeling now. Remember, a GD is a discussion –and not a debate – among the members of a group.
Discussion versus Debate
Human beings love debates because we like to win and see others lose. A debate is a perfect situation for expressing intense emotions. A GD, however, calls for a lot more maturity and logic.
The purpose of a GD, though conducted in a competitive mode, is not to establish one person as a winner and others as losers. Its purpose, as far as you are concerned, is to help you come across as a person with sound, logical reasoning and an ability to respect another’s viewpoint.
A critical difference between a GD and a debate is that, while a debate begins with two groups’ bids to outwit each other, a discussion is evolutionary; this essentially means participants have the opportunity to refine their views in the course of the discussion. Thus, every member needs to contribute substantially and add to the existing knowledge base instead of pulling each other down.
The difference, thus, lies not just in style, but also in the mindset that is required to tackle
