Following are some group interview tips:

  • When your interview is scheduled, you must know the following information:
    • Time, location and approximate length of the interview.
    • Names and titles of the people on the panel.
  • At the interview, these people want to determine whether they like you and whether you will fit into their operation. The best way to be likable is to appear confident.
  • While entering the room, shake hands with each panel member. Explain that you brought a fresh copy of your resume for everyone.
  • When the first question is asked, take the opportunity to thank the panel before you answer.
  • As each question is asked, begin your answer by looking at the person who asked it. Then move your head slightly and make contact with others on the panel. It is not necessary to make eye contact with each person for every question, but do not leave anyone.
  • Finish your answer while looking at the person who asked the question, and remember to make your answers slightly shorter.
  • When it’s time to ask a question of your own, try to direct it to one person.
  • At the end of interview, do not forget to shake hands again with everyone. End the interview by telling the group that you have enjoyed the interview and look forward to an opportunity to work with them.
  • After the interview send at least one thank you letter, to the head of the committee. It’s very good if you send thank you letter to all the panel members.

These tips are really good. Most of us are in a dilemma before an interview and specially when it is a group interview. In a  group interview we have to make sure that we portray ourselves as different from others. I hope these tips will be great help..

That's definitely a useful tip for group interview. Certain other things which need to be taken into consideration
Appear confident but avoid coming across as aggressive
Stay cool under stress. Be aware of your body language. This is something that will be carefully observed. Do background research on the company to help you plan your questions and interview answers. Be aware of the interviewers throughout so you can catch any important cues

Many things to be added. First of all you should be before the time for the interview.
Dress code to be maintained. The most important thing is that what I learn from my religion Islam is that We all are Abdur-Razzaq ( Bread Earners ). Only the Allah (God)Al-Mighty is a Razzak ( Bread Provider). So dont be afraid from the panel they are also Abdur-Razak ( Bread Earners ) they are unable to provide you bread ( Job ).
