  • @fairytale before we enter the room the chairman tells the other members of our service preferences.. This has been concurred by many candidates.
    Anyway how much do u expect for yourself ?
    May be that would be the case... well interview was smooth sort of.. so no idea what impression it must have created in mind of board members...

    Yours was the last interview of the day, and it still lasted a lengthy 35-40 minutes. That seems to be a good sign. Thanks for sharing :)
  • @mango_dolly Don't get me wrong; Of course all the things u mentioned play a vital role in judging one's personality . What I liked about that interview was the type of questions that were asked i.e. neither too factual nor too opinion based ; actually a perfect combo !! 230+ was just an emotional wave ;))

    This transcript was actually my friend's and he was not very happy with his interview.. 230+ is out of question.
    Bro scoring 230+ / 275 is next to impossible imo just bcoz the boards have their limits
    . Out of 3k 3 may get 230.
  • @Amrutha at first i thought that he may be talking about some hollywood movie.. so i raised my hands. but then he encouraged me to guess saying that its very popular and u must have seen that.. and then it strike to me that he was talking about "3 Idiots"
  • @rookie If I m not wrong , last year's interview marks tells another story . Many candidates scored between 70% - 80% . Earlier it was also next to impossible to think that so many would get high scores in interviews. Anyway bro as I said '230+ comment ' was an emotional outburst :P
  • @fairytale home town Mandi (HP) & hobby travelling but no question related to Himachal ?
  • @OldMonk My hometown is Agra :P, he just told me to name some new IITs.. and i said IIT Mandi

    yaar how was the overall mood in the interview ?! I mean will they frequently interfere while we are talking ? will all the 5 guys sit and stare us while we talk ?
