Some Important methodology for GD and Lecturette

 Dear Friends in this post i am sharing some helpful tips which will be beneficial for you regarding two things -

1. Creating a good impression on Group Testing Officer.
2.  Success in GD with special reference to phase 1 testing.

Problems in GD -

1. Story Writing.(phase 1)

2.  I have come across a number of friends, aspirants who face this problem in Phase 1 testing of SSB. 10 to 15 candidates trying to dominate each other while discussing , everyone try's to put his point to make their perspective more intellectual and logical.

Solutions-

1. Try not to write any baccha story and artificial story. Officer's in the SSB knows that their are ample of materials available in the market.  These materials actually modify the way you think. If you really start reading these bookish story than  you will start comparing your story with these artificial stories and it may be possible that you even try to copy that fake style also.
They want to know what you think ,what's your perspective, what you depicts. What you need is a good power of expression and knowledgeable content.

How to develop such skills - Read a lot , Write a lot , Speak a lot .

Read - A good newspaper is enough. Read national and international news, give special attention to the editorial section. It will really help you to make enlarge the way you think. In editorial section the writer analyse pros and cons of present situation and on diversified topics.So it will give a good knowledge bank when u discuss with some one. {In one of my ssb , my GD topic was effects of social networking site. we were 10 candidates in the group. All 9 of them started giving positive and very good points on Facebook , orkut but i started giving negative effects of social networking sites. I came into the site of GTO and all the group started questioning my point in this way i got ample of opportunity to speak and satisfy my counter mates ( thanks to the hindu news paper ). So read a lot on diversified topics.

Second Important benefit of reading is it provides you intellectual thinking. For example - In PPDT there was one slide showing dense forest and two guys . Some of the candidates wrote story on bravery , some wrote about agriculture and one guy wrote on degradation of environment and how these two guys helped in spreading awareness regarding that. When we started narrating our story the officer even not wanted to listen your story which were based on bravery and other common traits . When candidates started telling their story on bravery like tiger came and how they tackled the situation one saved lives bla bla bla................. ..... I mean i was shocked by the attitudes of the officer's. After listening two or three lines ..they started saying OK OK ..WE GOT IT..NEXT....But when the story of some different approach and intellectual came they listen the complete story..The story included - How the forest was affected , how they spread awareness among's people by stating them about governments policies on environment, few UN's program's on environment, how villagers approached industrial unit and asking them to follow such norms..

So this reading habit will really help you. In interview also they ask about your reading habit.

Write -  You need power of expression . This will help you in Psychological test. You have to write 13 stories . If you can't express your thought's powerfully and beautifully on paper than it will make difficult for psychologist to understand you. If doubt occur's than they prefer to reject you. So keep writing it will improve your skills.

Speak -  Again power of expression. This is the most important weapon of yours. During phase 1 GD they will ask you to narrate your story. Be assertive while narrating . Address the group. Speak confidently. It's better to raise your thought's than to raise your voice.

Good Content + Speaking confidently with assertiveness will surely make your chances very strong. 

GD become's fish market. So your chances of getting selected for rest of the testing is 90% depend upon your written test , your content of story and on your orator ship skills.

In GD you have to contribute , don't ever sit ideal. Remember you have to come up with a group story so when GD start's try to contribute on forming a group story listen and speak valuable . Don't ever speak for the sake of speaking. you will get an opportunity and than put your point's forward. Listen and Speak.

Again i am telling your 90% selection depends upon rest of the things apart from discussion. ( Most of the time in my GD's i speak very less but i speak very effectively with assertiveness. So never got screened out. )

All the above skills will be very helpful in GTO's GD and Lecturette .. All The Best..
