Group Discussion Handbook — 40 Topics with Points For and Against (PDF)

You do not get to choose which side you are given. So every topic here has three points for and three points against — 240 arguments in total.

Most GD preparation is a list of topics with no content, or a one-sided opinion piece. This gives you both sides of 40 topics, laid out side by side so you can absorb an argument in one glance.

Two pages of technique before the topics — the part students actually panic about

• How a GD is really scored — the five headings evaluators mark, and why speaking the most does not win
• How to get a word in — three ways to find a gap in a room of ten people
• A phrases bank for entering, disagreeing, being interrupted, bringing in a quiet member and summarising
• The fish market problem — exactly what to do when the discussion turns into a shouting match

40 topics across 6 categories

• Technology and AI — AI and jobs, social media, smartphones in schools, remote work, data privacy, semiconductors, crypto
• Business and Economy — startups vs government jobs, the gig economy, manufacturing, FDI, universal basic income, startup valuations
• Education and Society — exams, free education, medium of instruction, reservation, online learning, brain drain
• Environment and Health — electric vehicles, development vs environment, plastic, nuclear energy, work-life balance
• Workplace and Careers — the MBA, skills vs degrees, four-day week, moonlighting, internships, pay transparency
• General and Abstract — failure and success, money and happiness, sport, influencing, individual vs team

Plus a closing page on what to write in your two minutes of preparation, the mistakes that cost marks, and what to do when you know nothing about the topic.
