Please note that the minimum qualifying marks to clear the GIC Assistant Manager written exam was 60% for General and OBC categories while for SC\/ST it was 50% but with the announcement of the GIC AM result, GIC has clearly stated that due to the non-availability of sufficient number of candidates, the minimum qualifying marks for Finance, Legal and Insurance streams have been reduced to 53.33 % for General +OBC candidates and 44.44 % for SC\/ST candidates. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Group Discussion Experience and Format<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A Group Discussion exercise is conducted to test the interactive skills of a candidate. It also evaluates how well you get along with your peers and how you are able to put your point across without being demeaning. Besides this, Group Discussion also checks whether you can be a part of a team or not.<\/p>\n\n\n
