Group Discussion
Now-a-days a few banks have also started taking group discussions as a part of the selection process
...
Therefore my advice to all of you would
be that you should always keep on working on your communication skills even if you do not have any
interview or group discussion in your hand
...
So all of our friends here are few tips on how they can
tackle the group discussion part of the bank exams or for that matter any exam or entrance test
...
If you are not comfortable with
the topic than it would be better for you to listen to the views of others for a few minutes and
thereafter you can come up with your views on the topic
...


Do not try to speak in a hasty manner just to impress the evaluators, the objective should be to speak
well, so have patience and try to intervene in between with well thought over views and present them
forcibly
...
Take keen interest in what others are
saying and try to build over what others are saying
...

Never indulge in any arguments with others, sometime situation may arise that there may be a clash
of opinions but you should understand that you are not there to win points over others rather your
objective should be to clear the test
...

Be very polite and have a smile on your face and always show the positive approach by speaking good
things about the topic
...

Be very attentive and nod your head while listening to others, from time to time, during the course of
discussion
...

The points which can give you an edge over others:

If you can initiate the discussion in a well manner
...

If you coordinate well and try to finish the discussion within stipulated time
...
Even if there are arguments and noise in the
discussion you should try to pacify the things and should try to behave in a mature manner as it is a
test of your communication skills, leadership skills and your ability to mange the teams well
...
It is likely that a few more banks will also
conduct group discussions as a part of selection process
...
We are providing here you some useful information
about group discussions
...
The
group will have 8 to 10 members who will express their views freely, frankly in a friendly
manner, on a topic, which will be given by the conductors of the discussion
...

Drumming the hand & itching on
your nose show your nervousness
