Group Discussions are generally a part of the recruitment processes of various companies as it helps them assess how good a candidate is when he is put in front of a group of people. They check the candidate’s communication skills, interest areas, convincing abilities, they try to judge if a candidate is well opinionated, if he/she can listen to others while they are putting forward their points, and then able to find weak areas and put a proper argument forward.

  • Group discussion topics are generally around the domain that the recruiter is hiring for.
  • If the position is for a management trainee, then the GD can be around business-related news, any policy change, and its impact, whether that policy is effective or not.
  • If they hiring for a technical role, it could be related to changes in the technology sector, newer technologies, etc.
  • There are also some general topics for discussion which have been in the grey area in the social setting for years.

• There are generally two reasons why a company conducts a Group Discussion round as a part of their interview process – 1. They want to check the general knowledge of the candidate; 2. They want to assess the behavior of a candidate while communicating in a group.
• The latter is one of the more important reasons why it is conducted. They want to assess it in order to see how a candidate interacts in a group of unknown people.
The following can be some of the topics for a Group Discussion round of TCS:
• A current affair related to the field the recruiter is hiring for.
• If the recruiter wants to check the creative aspect of the candidate, an abstract topic can be a good attempt at the same.
• If the recruiter is hiring for a management position, the topics shall revolve around areas that can assess the decision-making ability of a candidate. E.g. – the impact of a particular policy on the company/industry.
• There can also be some topics that have not come to a definite conclusion over the years and the recruiter wants to understand how opinionated an individual is.
