XLRI Admission: Importance of GD
Group Discussion (GD) allows a management aspirant to showcase their leadership qualities as well as logical ability. In the XLRI GD, candidates are exposed to a hypothetical situation where they have to debate and present their point in a coherent, concise and convincing manner. The GD topics range from politics, business, society, education to philosophy and abstract topics. This round helps selectors in judging the leadership skills of the candidate.
