@All Candidates Giving their GDs on 4th/5th
All the Best.
Though you guys must have got a lot of feedback on what process is gonna all about ..
recapsulate what is GD at SCMHRD & in general all about.
ITS ALL MY VIEW POINT based on MY EXPERIENCES.. i read it somewhere practised it n was of help to me...
Hope you guys make a sense out of it & gives you some benefits.
GD is an art. The more you fake the better are your chances.
Lots of people say I did well in GD but i could not make it. I entered GD so many times but could not make. Then they say I dont know what they are looking for.
Guys GDs test your Leadership Skill, Communication Skills, Thinking Skills, Group Skills, Social Skills.
Your General Knowledge, your geography, history, current affairs comes handy in a group discussion.If u can think & use some mathematical analysis or statistics correctly in a Gd thats adds on but it is not a "must do".
GD process in SCMHRD is a little different from other colleges in certain aspects.
First: Process is of around 50-60 minutes
Second: Two group processes are done in tht time span.
Third: Panelist may ask you to stop in between if he feels you have spoken for some time
. (This wil not fetch you negative marks... if you are not too overt)
Fourth: He may also ask some1, person who has not spoken much, to put his points. (This normally does not happen in other colleges)
Fifth: Surprise in Group Activity.
So what to do what not to do.
What to Do:- PANIC.
- PANIC
- DO NOT PANIC
- PLEASE DO NOT PANIC: Your in same state of mind as your fellow group members. Everyone will be tensedbut if you can be calm & maintain your composure.
- Come at least half an hour early to the centre.
- Get to know people in your GD group.
- ts a killer feeling when your tensed, your adrenaline level goes up. You can take care of this situation by taking somes steps back n forth. Drink some water & talk to yourself.
- Enter the GD room with smartness.. act as this is your day and you are comfortable
- Greet your panelist & have a smile on your face (Its is difficult to do when you r tensed but you can fake it is matter of 50 minutes )
- Give your best shot.
- Be calm and give full attention to your panelist when everyone sits down.
- After you get your topic or case study sheet.. concentrate on smartest girl/guy in your group :satisfie: it will help you to loosen up.. n if you do it... your career is in your hand.. so better concentrate on the topic.
- View the topic from each & every angle.. SPELT works yes it does.. you need to move up in thinking process..
- SPELT: Social/ Political/ Economic/ Legislative/ technological factors tht might effect situation in purview.
- Apart from above 5 view points.... Try to look for VALID ALTERNATIVES as many as you can. If you do it correctly & able to convince people with alternatives in your mindbelieve me you have given your best shot
- If you r startin a GD be cautious... it does reflect your leadership skills but can put you in trouble situation. Ita good habbit to thankl your panelist for giving you a nice topic to discuss.
- Do not look at your GD PANEL... you are not discussing with them
- DO NOT TAKE ANY STANCE.. BE FLEXIBLE IN YOUR THROUGH PROCESS>>> IF YOUR POINT IS NOT BEING ACCEPTED BY GROUP >> TRY TO THIK FROM OTHER SIDE.
- ALWAYS TaKE A MiDDLE path... ... Osama Bin Laden did attacked america .. but there could be three view points.. from angle of americans, from angle of Osama's people & neutral views.
- DO NOT GET INTO ONE on ONE fight. You have to aim that one seat you want. You may have some stigmas... but you leave all your stigma's, preferences, likes & dislikes behind .. think .. if anything is bad then why is it bad.. if anthing is good then why is it good. PUT RATIONALE BEHIND your stand.
- Sit smartly.. Shoulders & Back straight
- Do not cross your feets .. these are visible n show your negative attitude...
- Cross Legged posture is allowed.
- DO NOT KEEP ON SPEAKIN... Let others speak.. untill almost everyone participates in GD .. it is not a GROUP DISCUSSIOn .. but a debate..
- Walk out smartly
- DO NOT SHOW YOUR EXPRESSIONS you can have smile & try to avoid laughin
- Try not to use slangs.
- If you use some quote/ dates/ event/ statistics.. try 2 mention when n where it was used. If you do not know its relevance or source then try not to use it .. if u have vague idea about it . say if u know it was in newspaper .. mention .. it was in newspaper.. or according to a newspaper survey... remember this is a guess and it has to be intelligent)
- IF YOU ARE CLUELESS ABOUT THE TOPIC: you know what you have to do.... DO NOT PANIC...listen to other people .. have a grasp of wht the topic is .. n think it is your bad day.... waise it has never happened to me in my actual GDs where i got a topic of which i do not know... (not to mention i m avg student .. without any interest in readin newspaper.. magazines..books....talkin...studyin... though once in a while i open my ears, books n eyes.... THEME BEHIND sleeping_gian :satisfie: )
- DO NOT GET VERBOSE: Simple english is understood by groups n panelists
- Appreciate & Thank people
- DO not cut anyone in between
- if u tryin to negate .. do it passively .. without harsh words or tone.. yes i agree when that happened some people did not like it that way.. but what about people who accepted it .. n appreciated in tons n masses .... .
- .
AHHH i m tierd of writing.. n do not have any other points in my mind right now...n my friends r askin me to sleep so i will halt this .. may b i will write another .. post... [COLOR=blackits time for GIANT to
