Factual Topics |

Abstract Topics |
|
|
|
| |
Factual Topics:- |
|
|
| |
Factual topics are about practical things, which an ordinary person is aware of in his day-to-day life. Typically these are about socio-economic topics. These can be current, i.e. they may have been in the news lately, or could be unbound by time. A factual topic for discussion gives a candidate a chance to prove that he is aware of and sensitive to his environment.
E.g. Indian technical Education, Brain Drain etc |
|
|
| |
Controversial Topics:- |
|
|
| |
Controversial topics are the ones that are argumentative in nature. They are meant to generate controversy. In GDs where these topics are given for discussion, the noise level is usually high, there may be tempers flying. The idea behind giving a topic like this is to see how much maturity the candidate is displaying by keeping his temper in check, by rationally and logically arguing his point of view without getting personal and emotional.
E.g. Womens Reservation, Nuclear Deal etc. |
|
|
| |
Abstract Topics:- |
|
|
| |
Abstract topics are about intangible things. These topics are not given often for discussion, but their possibility cannot be ruled out. These topics test your lateral thinking and creativity.
E.g. ZERO, Red rose etc. |
|
|
| |
Case-based Gd:- |
|
|
| |
Another variation is the use of a case instead of a topic.
The case study tries to simulate a real-life situation. Information about the situation will be given to you and you would be asked as a group to resolve the situation. In the case study there are no incorrect answers or perfect solutions. The objective in the case study is to get you to think about the situation from various angles.
This methods are used by most of the Management institution and SSB selection process. |

The main objective of the group discussion is find some traits in the candidate like team spirit, leadership skills, knowledge etc. |
