  • Had my interview today was asked a lot of random questions and unusual questions I answered the questions which I was sure nd politely said no which I didn't know :-/ hoping for ok marks board was cordial cm was smiling and also was dowsing nd one member had no expression n it lasted upto 17mins :| by da way how is AP singh board in awarding marks?
    Join the club :p they asked me questions totally unrelated to my daf. One of the members was like "you don't really have many achievements listed in your daf. How can I ask you anything?" I just smiled and sat there waiting. The board's reactions were unfathomable. I came out thinking I will be back next year

    but I think urs must have atleast lastd more then 17mins

    :P
  • This guy I know was interviewed by the same board two consecutive years. In 2011, he got some 150 and in 2012, 210. He told me there was absolutely no change in the way he interacted with the panel, nor did the questions change much (solely based on daf both times). This made me wonder. If it really is a personality test, how much can a person change in an year without himself knowing it and the board realizing it?


    And a cousin of mine, told me his interview went very well. The board was very impressed with his academic credentials (first time cleared CA with a single digit rank) and one of the members even told him the same in so many words. He got 180 :-|

    Is there some objectivity I am missing here?
    Your cousin's experience is giving me the jitters. Comments from a few board members were quite similar.
    Damn!
    Haha, he got 16th rank. Good luck :D

    No, I don't think so. I didn't carry a watch so I don't know the exact duration but it was over before I could get comfortable

    :P

    New Delhi..

    I had my interview today in afternoon session and I was the second candidate to be interviewed by the panel.

    My Background:
    Education: MBBS grad
    Work Experience: 15 months temoprary job as Junior Resident in Basaveshwara Medical College Hospital, Chitradurga.
    Board.: D K Deewan (Retd Vice Admiral)



    At the end of the interview, I felt I missed some important points, could have answered better. In the areas which I was not comfortable, I told them little bit of what I know and I told them I wasnt sure, so they avoided further questions on that. Whichever questions I answered, I answered positively. Fingers crossed.

    AP Singh was smiling !!!

    yup I dont why but he was nonetheless may be he was by seeing my unusual preference for service

    :D
    What was your service preference ?.....

    IPS first?

    I thought the only way to make him smile is to put AFHQ Gp B service as first choice

    Shhhh .. its meditation .. (:|
  • @all can you guys please explain what is "lima phenomenon" in globalisation? i was asked this term or something sounding like this in my interview....
  • edited May 2014
    @Eddy- I think it's what the Lima Declaration and PoA aimed to achieve- economic globalisation through global industrial redistribution. There'd be international division of labour, deployment of production capacities to the more poor countries, technology transfer, all with the goal of redistributing 25% of world industry to developing countries by 2000.
