Tips

Please dont jump into the discussion and create chaos.
Slow starters are also winners in group-discussions provided you tackle the situation in an
organised and methodical manner with independent mind and originality.
Put across your ideas, opinions, views and comments forcefully and impressively.
You can present opposite ideas, opinions, views and comments but these should not be
contrary to the common notion and idiosyncratic.
Please dont interrupt when other members of the group speaks. Your turn will definitely come
or can be demanded.
Dont change stance in between. Instead stick to your arguments during the course of the
discussion.
Dont get carried away by other participants views. But if the views happen to be original and
extensive, dont hesitate to appreciate.
Take initiative and assume the role of a leader in the course of discussion. Your coordinating
ability and influencing capacity will help a lot in the final selection.
Please give chance to each and every member in the group. Apart from Initiativeness and
enthusiasm, warmth, friendliness, understanding, cooperation and persuasiveness are the
qualities that are looked upon by the selectors.
Dont be withdrawn, rigid and mercurial because this may finally lead the person to be
argumentative and elfish.
Be positive, consistent and competent throughout.


Wishing all the best
