You are expected to speak and communicate at your best in GD which is essentially a test to know your soft skills like verbal communication, body language, leadership and attitudinal aspects.

You can’t afford to speak for which others either feel offended or don’t buy your point. If you are focusing on theme of topic and remain in tune with subject matter, Chances are high that you will be heard.

Factual facts related to topic must be presented and you should be sure on what you are saying because others are waiting to counter you in GD and since it is competition, you might be cornered if you are out of focus.

GD being subjective by nature has to be taken seriously with ensured positive participation. Domain knowledge and presentation is the key to be successful in GD.
