             Well I think that Group Discussions are a perfect way to judge a host of skills, which cannot be evaluated, in any written test. Skills like leadership qualities and responsiveness to other peoples views and judgment, how people react and mould themselves into the GD are very important points to be evaluated in a future employee. The companies of today are fast moving, so changing and moreover adapting to the conditions is quite important. Pressure handling capabilities, public speaking qualities as well as modesty and humility and persuasive nature of a person are also put to test during a group discussion session, which all amount to the total evaluation of the candidate.

           Performing well in a GD is definitely a very important prerequisite for getting a job. The person's rationale judgment and composure in dealing with situations are put to test. How the person goes about interacting with people and how he behaves in a group is also given relevance. The one who talks more and dominates is not selected usually.

Hello

      I guess GD is essential in requirements since we can know many things ab the candidate like

1 His Communication skills

2 His ability to work in Team

3 His behavior to some extent whether he is dominative or whether he simple in accepting things.

4 Last but not the least person’s confidence
