Your movements and postures must be active position alive and responsive enough to make the group and the examiner take to you immediately. Your body language should reflect your confidence, openness, readiness and a sense of being cooperative attitude. Your eyes should radiate sincerity, friendliness and positiveness. Your voice should be warm, so that you can draw everybody attention the moment you began to speak.

Dress- your clothes plays a vital role in casting a favorable first impression. While the clothes need not be costly, dazzling, new or of the latest fashion they should be clean neat and well stitched. Apart from affecting others positively, a well dressed candidate will also feel confident.

Body language- body language is a non-verbal communication skill, a face to face encounter. It gives cues to a person’s frame of mind. Postures are said to divulge what’s in our mind.

Tone and voice- your personality and the ability to influence others depends greatly on using the right tone and voice. More than words it is the tone that conveys the message. A tone that orders or commands, hurts the listener ego and self esteem.

Countenance- a cheerful countenance is most important for a good appearance. A ready pleasant and spontaneous smile invariably conveys friendliness and creates a favorable impression.

The greater your knowledge of the subjects, the more interested, enthusiastic and confident will you be and the more fluent and forceful would be your speech and contribution to the discussion.

Communication skills- effective communication is a salient feature of group discussion. An idea can be appreciated only when it is expressed eloquently and effectively. A leader, an administrator, a manager or an erudite scholar must posses the skills to put across an idea on a clearest manner.
