    Group discussions are used to evaluate job candidates beyond just academic qualifications. They allow employers to assess a candidate's communication skills, leadership potential, knowledge, and ability to work as part of a team. During a group discussion, candidates are evaluated on how well they actively listen, express their ideas clearly, use appropriate language, and display good body language. Employers also look at a candidate's behavior in the group to see if they can interact well with others, show emotional maturity, and act as a cooperative team player rather than being ego-centric. The goal is to choose the socially suitable candidate who can contribute effectively to group discussions.
