GD SUMMARIZATION TECHNIQUES,GROUP DISCUSSION GD CONCLUSION TIPS
Summarization Techniques:
Most of the GDs are not being concluded but every GD is being summarized. This statement means that conclusion represents a final stage in the GD, where the whole of the group decides in favour or against the topic, but in case of summarization, a candidate summarizes in nutshell what all the group has discussed in the GD.
Following points should be kept in mind while summarizing a discussion: -

  1. No new point should be spoken in the summary

  2. A person should not speak only his own view point in the summary

  3. A summary should not dwell only on one side of the GD

  4. It should be brief and concise

  5. It should incorporate all the important points spoken in the GD
  6. If a candidate has been told by the examiner to summarize a GD, this means that GD has come to an end. It is not advisable to add anything once GD has been summarized
A simple framework for summary can be, “We had a very healthy group discussion and we as a group have evaluated this topic from different perspectives. Some of my friends spoke in favour of the topic and the reasons that they gave were… where as some very good points against the topic were… In all, we had a very good discussion where everyone participated with their full enthusiasm and vigour.
Concluded.
