Group Discussion

Group Discussion, popularly labeled as GD, is a popular methodology used by many organizations (company, institute, business school, etc.). These days to gauge whether the candidate has certain personality traits such as interpersonal communication skills, confidence in public speaking, team spirit, leadership abilities, social behavior and problem-solving skills. GDs form an important part of the short-listing process for recruitment or admission in a company or institution. In GD, there are usually 7-12 participants in a group. The group of candidates is given a topic or a situation which could be either factual, abstract or case based, and typically given some time to think and make notes about the same. After this, the group of candidates is, and then asked to discuss it the topic among themselves for a specific duration ranging between 10-40 minutes (which may vary from one organisation to another). The Panelists assign scores to every candidate based on his/her individual performance as well as how he performed within the group. Therefore, in your case anyone topic can be given to your group like COVID-19, Nirbhaya case, Ram Mandir verdict, etc.

Since I have cleared all the 3 for my joining procedure I would like to tell you step by step:
The day when you have been called, you will be asked to report to a class room (room number will be mentioned in the notice board in front with your application number).
There will be around 1015 students who will be reporting to the same class as yours. There will be 2 faculty members (evaluators) joining each class room with a stop watch and bell in their hand. For the group discussion, they will give a current topic to the group (which will be simple if you know the current affairs, you might get the question from UP elections if my guess is right. We got the question about Kejriwal during our GD).
You will be marked based on your input to the group, the time taken by the group to conclude, your communication. (Each candidate will be marked, you will be sitting behind your application number sticker).
The marks won't be revealed after the GD:
The next round will be micro presentation. From the list of 75 topics each one will be given a topic in random. You will give 45 seconds for the preparation. Be bold, clear and try to reach a conclusion in your topic within that presentation. You will be checked for your communication skills, grammar, clarity in your thoughts
Again you will be marked and the applicants will be asked to leave
You will come to know the result within few days. You will be called for the personal interview only if you are selected
Personal interview will be just a 5 min interview where they will ask about yourself and why do you want to join this course and college. If you are good at your communication with a good CV your PI will be a cake walk. All the best.
