The Group Discussion usually termed as GD is followed by a personal interview, few Business Schools keep GD as an elimination round while few Business Schools test MBA aspirants in both GD & Personal Interview (PI) and announce the results.

Your success or failure in the selection process has a lot to do with your performance in GD. When a group of people are asked to discuss on a particular topic or incident the conversion between them becomes a group discussion. A topic could be on anything usually business schools [url=http://ssctoday.in]exam[/url] assign topics on a random basis and pretty hard to predict what they can ask, in general all topics are usually based on the current events.

Don’t be surprised if a topic is given on Twitter or Facebook. GD topics will never be on sensitive matters like caste & religion however topics related to economy can be given.
