Campus Recruitment Process

Soumen Chatterjee
The Approach
• How you can bring out your best and be successful in Group
Discussions & Personal Interviews
• This has been prepared based on the training of thousands of
college students by us

• You would benefit from these questions as they have been
designed keeping in mind the recruiter’s perspective

Soumen Chatterjee
Points to Ponder when Preparing for
Group Discussion
• What are the recruiters looking at in a candidate during a Group
Discussion?
• How do I analyze a GD topic by identifying the key words?
• How do I get an opportunity to speak?
• How much should I speak?

Soumen Chatterjee
Points to Ponder when Preparing for
Group Discussion
• Should I be assertive or aggressive in a Group Discussion?
• How can I speak on any topic?
• Is it a good move to initiate the Group Discussion?

• How should I conclude?
• What is the appropriate body language and etiquette in a GD?

Soumen Chatterjee
Type of topics in a Group Discussion
• Contemporary Topics
– Anarchy or Governance: what does our country need?
– Bifurcation of states – is it a boon or bane?
– Corruption is a price we pay for Democracy
– Security and safety of women
– What do you think are the two pressing issues in India?
• Business & Economics Topics
– Can India go back to 9% GDP growth ever?
– Ethics in business is just a passing fad

Soumen Chatterjee
Type of topics in a Group Discussion
• Abstract / Creative Topics
– Black
– Child is the father of man
• Other topics
– Do engineers make better managers?
– Group Discussion is not the best tool of selection for a job

Soumen Chatterjee
Points to Ponder when preparing for
Personal Interview

a job interview – ability, fitment & motivation?
• What is the right way to greet and other important aspects of
body language?
