You can’t afford slang in GD



Sometimes MBA aspirants become informal during Group discussion because when they are given a relaxed GD platform they get mistaken and might use slang language during GD which can be injurious.

In GD it is vital as group will react to your communication and give back to you your own thoughts which you can develop and give conclusion. This can be a golden opportunity to take lead in GD

That is the prowess of communication so shed slang forthwith.
