Hello @saurabhsjain91,
first let’s see what is normally going on with group settings:
This is a public group
Any site member can join this group.
This group will be listed in the groups directory and in search results.
Group content and activity will be visible to any site member.
This is a private group
Only users who request membership and are accepted can join the group.
This group will be listed in the groups directory and in search results.
Group content and activity will only be visible to members of the group.
As you see, the only difference is the group content and activity visibility.
The easiest way would be to create only private groups, so the members had to request membership to access them. But it is not what you want to do and unfortunately, modifying group privacy for better flexibility is not very doable.
So, we have to focus on what it is possible to do with public groups accessibility, the one with the fewest restrictions.
Lukily, core developper @imath stumbled also upon this problem a few mounth back. And finally produced a plugin.
The features are:
- allow users to submit a request to join the group.
- selectively hiding group tabs.
- add a custom group homepage when non-members are viewing the group.
More about this experimental plugin on @pollyplummer ‘s WPTavern.

The plugin can be downladed on github.
May this help ! 😉
