Group Discussion (GD) is a soft skill test. Students are split into small groups. Each group gets separate group discussion topics. Top MBA colleges asses your conversation skills. Panellists test your body language, oral skills, and social skills. During Group Discussion, a candidate must express positive gestures. The weight-age is around 20%. The final step (Personal Interview) is dependent on one's performance in GD.

There goes a popular saying that "Practice makes a man perfect". When it is applied on the GD, the saying fits perfectly because without thorough practice, you will not be able to speak fluently and would neither be able to put forward good content. Group Discussion is basically a test of your listening ability and communication skills. Prepare yourself for a group discussion because this will set a stage for your corporate meeting that will happen post your academics are over.
