Abstract

Group Discussion is widely used by leading corporate houses as one of the main rounds of the recruitment process. At New Horizon College of Engineering, Bengaluru, the Centre for Life Skills and Lifelong Learning implemented this method as a tool for assessing industry-readiness. This research paper aims at studying the establishment of the process, the customization and streamlining over a period of 4 batches and offers a view of the degree of success it has achieved, v is-a-vis the initial expectations. It explores salient findings from the process involved: how Group Discussion can be used as a 360 degree tool for evaluating life skills as a whole.
