How to Excel in Group Discussion in FSB and SSB Interviews?
How to handle the fish market like situation during the PP&DT?
A sitationn faced by a number of aspirants while facing the Interview Selection Procedure during the PP&DT and GD discussions. What is a Fishmarket situation?
Once the Ground Testing Officer says The time starts now, you can start your discussion. All candidates start speaking together and don’t listen to any one. No one can make out what is being speoken about.
Following are the two main reasons for this:-
Since in this task no one is nominated to Co-ordinate or Monitor, everyh one wants to acertain their supremacy over the group.
In one of the recent SSBinterview out of 303 reported only 30 screened in. Now you can imagine the rate opf rejection. Since candidates are anxious to do well start speaking up and do not listen or allow the others to speak.
Some of the training centres, where in Trained GTOs are not available or they ask one of the selected candidates to conduct this happens. This is a bad / wrong approach- "TRY TO SHOW YOUR INITIATIVE" Whatever be the reason, the outcome is negative.Cdr Natrajan gives the following tips:-
1.The purpose of SSB test is to assess leadership potential of candidates. Thus, in almost all practical tasks including that of the Group Testing Series all tasks except the Command Task are leaderless. In a discussion when a candidate speaks first it reflects his initiative and self-confidence. Depending on the contents spoken we can assess his intellect, power of expression and reasoning. His approach towards others, how handles other’s views and collaborates to evolve a consensus shows his ability to influence his group, adaptability, tact, diplomacy, determination, courage, mental stamina, liveliness etc.
Thus, when a candidate remains mum, the assessors just can’t assess him/her. On the other hand candidates who are dominant and disruptive are seen as selfish and uncooperative. Such candidates even if their content is logical they may not get selected.
How to handle this situation? Unfortunately, it is very difficult to explain in words as to how to handle this situation practically because each group is going to be different in terms of its composition. You may try the following these five strategies: Concentrate.
While others are narrating the story, listen to them intensely. Spot chest numbers of candidates who’s stories are similar to yours. Note what is the consensus on number of characters, their age and gender. Be Ready to Shoot. Once you have noted the above, be ready to shoot your first line. As soon as the last person finishes his narration, shoot. Say “friends the stories of chest nos —,—,—- and —- were similar and also appealing and so let’s make that the common story. Give a pause and wait for reactions. You have now revealed your self-confidence, initiative and courage. Handling the Confusion. The moment you stop the confusion will start and everyone will speak at the same time. You must get into action and urge them to speak one at a time. Make sure you are not harsh to anyone and don’t name anyone in particular. Keep urging for some time and I am sure no one will relent.
Be a Roman in Rome. When no one cooperates, start telling your logic as to why the story appeals to you and why it should be made the group story with minor modifications. Continue giving your logic and if someone else’s point appeals to you accept and include in the group story. This will reveal your reasoning, intellect, power of expression, ability to influence, decision making, determination, liveliness etc. This is good enough at this stage.
All the best
