Cracking an entrance exam is just one aspect. We often neglect other aspects of admission process which is a group discussion. Following are some of the skills that are covered under group discussion:

Communication

Communication skills make the first impression about the personality of the candidate. It is the responsibility of the speaker to ensure that what he/she intended to communicate has been communicated correctly and understood the way it was expected to be understood.

Content

Content is an important aspect of the evaluation process. Thus, you need to clearly display your understanding of all the issues pertaining to the topic. The more valid points you make, the more marks you score.

Language

The way you talk matters a lot. As long as you are able to convey your ideas in reasonably correct English, your fluency does not matter. Keep it simple while you are expressing your ideas.

Listening

Don’t think that Group Discussions are only about speaking. You have to make sure that you focus your attention on what other group members are saying instead of concentrating only on speaking.

Behavior

Your group behavior will matter a lot when it comes to group discussion as your behavior will be noted on the way you put your opinion, how you interact with the other members, how relevant you talk, and your body language and so on.

Thus, actions such as shouting to gain attention and making snide remarks about others contributions will not do you any good at all.

Above all Be Confident !!
