Points to Remember
Knowledge is strength. A candidate with good reading habits
has more chances of success. In other words, sound knowledge on different
topics like politics, finance, economy, science and technology is helpful.
Power to convince effectively is another quality that makes
you stand out among others.
Clarity in speech and expression is yet another essential
quality.
If you are not sure about the topic of discussion, it is
better not to initiate. Lack of knowledge or wrong approach creates a bad
impression. Instead, you might adopt the wait and watch attitude. Listen
attentively to others, may be you would be able to come up with a point or two
later.
A GD is a formal occasion where slang is to avoided.
A GD is not a debating stage. Participants should confine
themselves to expressing their viewpoints. In the second part of the discussion
candidates can exercise their choice in agreeing, disagreeing or remaining
neutral.
Language use should be simple, direct and straight forward.
Don't interrupt a speaker when the session is on. Try to
score by increasing your size, not by cutting others short.
Maintain rapport with fellow participants. Eye contact plays
a major role. Non-verbal gestures, such as listening intently or nodding while
appreciating someone's viewpoint speak of you positively.
Communicate with each and every candidate present. While
speaking don't keep looking at a single member. Address the entire group in
such a way that everyone feels you are speaking to him or her.
