Group Discussion (GD) is one of the most important domains for the last stage of recruitment, which we call an interview. Though interview consists of other domains also like HR, Psychometric, technical rounds etc but GD has its own relevance. GD is done is a group typical of 7 to 8 candidates. There are two main kinds of topics asked in GD:
• Static
• Current
Static topics remain more or less same and candidates can revise these on the basis of previous years topics. These can be generic topics, philosophical, proverbial etc
Current topics are related to the developments happening in the current. These current issues can further be divided into sub categories like political, economic, Science & Technology, geopolitical, international, etc
