GD/PI PARAMETERS

GD/PI or Group Discussion and Personal Interview is an important assessment you have to undergo before you can get into a business school, apart from the WAT or Written Ability Test. Now, GD/PI is not just any casual discussion you can just walk into without being informed and prepared beforehand.  Nailing a GD/PI perfectly takes rigorous preparation and efforts of the aspirants.

Preparation also requires adhering by some set rules. The interviewers always have some specific rationale behind the exercises and they asses traits like interpersonal skills and knowledge of current affairs in general and how you react and deal with the situations they present you with. So it’s wise to walk by some set parameters of what they look for while preparing for GD/PI.

1. 1. CONFIDENCE

No matter what you do, be confident. Confidence lets you take the lead and people actually listen to you when your attitude is brimming with confidence. To generate their interest in you, you just have to be confident.

2. COMMUNICATION SKILL

Now, this is very important. You may have valid points to talk but due to your incoherence in expression, you fail to get your message across. It’s a real bummer! So work on your communication skills so that you’re able to speak for at least 3-4 times during the GD. Also, be courteous and accommodating to others opinions and be a good listener. It reflects well on your personality.

3. TOPIC KNOWLEDGE

Conference in expression won’t earn you brownie points if what you’re saying is baseless. You need to have knowledge of the subject that is being discussed. You have to make sense at all times during the GD and PI and be well aware of the nooks and crannies of the provided topic.

4. LEADERSHIP SKILLS

This is a vital value that interviewers look for in their candidates. Try and lead the discussion, this gives an impression that you have a vast repository of knowledge about the topic. However, do so without being rude or debunking other’s opinions. The line between a good leader and borderline dominator is thin, so walk it carefully. To do this be accommodating to everyone and allow others to speak at regular intervals but you steer the direction of the discussion.

5. PROBLEM-SOLVING SKILLS

The rationale behind a GD is to present a newly assorted group with an issue in an unstructured situation, it’s left up to them to establish order within the situation. While doing so many personality traits are revealed. So be a problem solver without compromising your composure and politeness.

6. CRITICAL AND ANALYTICAL THINKING

Both of these are important aspects of a business person. When an issue is provided to you, you’re required to intricately dissect it and judge the pros and cons as well as possible outcomes. By this, your decision-making skills are also highlighted.

7. ATTITUDE

Just as you should have knowledge about a wide range of topics, you should have an opinion about them too. Your point of view is your own but it shouldn’t be too conservative. Instead, have an open-minded attitude and be adjusting and open to new ideas. People shouldn’t perceive you as arrogant.
