Peculiarities of the GD Subject
Not a biased subject
The topic of the GD won’t be biased. Biased in the sense you cannot say a no or yes all of a sudden after hearing the subject. You cannot objectively treat the topic of the GD. You cannot take a stand regarding the subject all of a sudden after you hear the subject. You cannot claim 100% right regarding your ideas about the topic. Because the topic would be highly subjective. It is made subjective because the recruiters insist that the ideas you share should have content of your own opinion in that. So, go for some subjective topic and analyse it from various perspectives.
Having current relevance
The topic will be having current relevance in it. Because the recruiters want to measure whether your knowledge is confined to the age-old printed books only. Whether you are aware of the recent developments happening in the world is often evaluated in a GD. To predict the possible topics for a GD it’s good to have touch with the newspaper and events happening around us.

Not constrained to Banking and economics

The knowledge level of the candidate in the matter of banking and economics have already been analysed through the preliminary and mains examination. They need not to be confined to banking and economics subjects for GD. They can choose any possible current event rather than having ant importance in the banking sector giving a GD topic. If any of the banking or economics topics is having high current influence in the society its good to give more weight to it.
Demanding Your Critical thinking
The topic will be set in such a way that it will demand your critical thinking on the topic. This is the major aim of the GD itself. So, don’t make the topic generalise but make it specific on any area like its consequences, pros and cons.
