 about Group Discussion
A Group Discussion (GD) is a structured and interactive exchange of ideas among a group of individuals on a specific topic. It is commonly used
in academic, professional, and competitive settings to assess a participant's ability to communicate effectively, think critically, and collaborate
with others. The discussion is typically moderated by an evaluator or facilitator, who observes and assesses the participants based on various
criteria such as content, communication skills, reasoning, and teamwork.
