In most of GD,the moderator decides the seating arrangement.once you enter the room where the GD is to be conducted,you will be told where you should sit.The seating arrangement of the entire group is already decided by the time you go into the room.In some cases the moderator may not make any seating arrangements but may ask the participants to sit as they wish.But this practice is not very common.


ADVANTAGE or DISADVANTAGE OF YOUR POSITION:

If the seating arrangement is circular ,then there is no difference between any positions.However,if the seating arrangement is around a rectangular table,then the best position are the middle of the shorted sides of the rectangular table.The next best positions are those at the centre of either one of the longer sides.The positions at the two ends of the longer sides are the least desirable.Whatever positions you get,concentrate on your participation rather than on position of your seat.However,make sure that you are being noticed by all members of the group.If necessary lean a little forward while speaking. All the best guys.
