Knowledge of the subject matter (Key components of GD)

It is said that knowledge is power. To succeed in a Group Discussion, it is necessary to have an in-depth understanding of the given subject. The more you know, the more you can contribute to a discussion in an engrossing and meaningful manner. A GD does only test your knowledge of the topic, but also the ability to use your awareness of other subjects by linking them in with relevant points. The reading habits of a person can influence this greatly.
If a candidate is lacking relevant knowledge, then having the ability to speak well is of little use. Even gifted speakers are likely to beat about the bush in the absence an understanding of the subject matter. In fact, it is better to stay silent than to deliver a pointless speech. If you start making irrelevant points it would be seen as negative by the assessor.
