Group Discussions What Students Do Wrong and How to Win Every Round 2025
GDs Decide Who Moves Forward
Group Discussions (GDs) in India most of the times are the first elimination round of the hiring and campus placement processes. Companies want to pick those students who can: show that they communicate in the best way possible think rationally cooperate with other members take the lead in a professional manner. Though a candidate may be strong from the technical point of view, if he/she performs poorly in GDs, the door to the interview will remain closed. Intelligent students start preparing for GDs in advance. While the rest learn it through their mistakes.

Why Students Get Rejected in GDs
The majority of freshers do such mistakes that their rejection is almost instantaneous. Among the most frequent mistakes of students in GDs are. One of the mistakes people make in GDs is to speak loudly but without giving any meaningful points. Volume leadership students think. What the recruiters want is clarity, not noise.
Very often people who talk at a GD for the first time decide to wait until next time and after that again and then they don’t speak at all. The point of a person who speaks after everyone loses more than half of its value. Impulsive interruption: confidence is good. However, disrespect is not one of them. A most common mistake is to prepare for arguments in a GD session and then simply repeat the memorized lines regardless of their relevancy. GDs are about coming up with new ideas and not reciting textbook lines.
No teamwork: Trying to dominate instead of collaborating shows poor corporate behavior.
Bad body language: Not making eye contact or slouching gives the impression of a lack of confidence.
The members who wrap up a GD, leave an everlasting impression of them being leaders.
Effect: Clever students are left out of the selection process.
Not because they are not knowledgeable enough. But due to their lack of GD skills. During GDs your work gets noticed before your CV is looked at.
