@GKS08 D K Diwan's board is having interviews mostly in the range of 20-25 minutes only. Nothing to worry about. Initially i was also worried by this 20 min, but then i found it to be a common thing with this particular board. Just Chill
Is there any form to be filled by candidate telling about past health condition and what all we need to fill in it?
Yes, there is a form in which we need to fill about whether we had any surgeries done or any operation wherein we had been hospitalized in past. Also when did you last get vaccinated which even I was not aware of and I left it blank and it was not an issue. Also before eye checkup they are going to ask us to write a declaration in the form that we had not undergone any refractive correction surgery. If yes, we have to mention it to them then and there. They are going to check for it later on with an instrument (I don't know technical details), so it's better to mention it to them beforehand if we had any surgery for the same.
I don't know know bhai whether they can or can't. But this was what happened with us - batch of 15 candidates. We all were shocked to see it happening that way.
Interview date: 15th April - Forenoon Panel: Dr. (Mrs.) P. Kilemsungla + 4 Male members Turn number: 3rd to go in the batch of 5 Duration: 40 mins (longest in my batch)
Profile: B.E. (Elect. & Comm.); PGDBM (HR); Work-ex of four years as an HR professional post PGDBM Hobby: Writing Poetry
General overview: 85-90% Current Affairs or various schemes based & 10-15% DAF - Profile based
I was able to answer most of the questions except for a couple which were beyond my DAF - Profile's scope and it was wrong on member's front to ask those questions as he misunderstood something in my profile. Still I did not give any wrong answers, did not lie or bluff even once although two members tried to make me lie on a couple of occasions; fumbled in a couple of questions. Later I was told by other candidates as well as I constructed my opinion based on the feedback from other candidates about other boards that the board I got was best one in this season (apart from Mr. Manbir Singh's board). Also, the feedback that she (Dr. Kilemsungla) do not award usually less than average marks in addition to the fact that I am overall satisfied with my performance as it was the best I could have done has made me relax. Will anxiously wait for the result for two months now. Detailed interview transcript will follow soon.

@Maxi awesome Bro!! 40 mins interview!! :O Eagerly waiting for the transcript..
Also plz tell me what are the documents to be carrier to interview as well as medical exam.. ?
Yes bro, let's hope for the best result. Though I am optimistic for it.
Documents to be carried for Interview are: 1. Metriculation Certificate 2. Graduation Degree 3. Higher Education (PG etc.) Degree 4. Category Certificate (SC/ ST/ OBC) If applicable with undertaking for OBC category 5. 2 Passport size photograph 6. Questionnaire
For Medical: 1. The letter you will receive from UPSC at the time of interview 2. Passport size photographs - It's mentioned to be 8 in the letter for medical but we were asked for only 3 photographs at GTB hospital. It may vary from hospital to hospital. So you should keep ready 8 photographs. 3. Latest prescription for spectacles - If applicable. I did not carry this with me as I did not have any latest prescription available and because of this it took me at least an extra half hour for getting eye checkup done at Eye OPD of the hospital. To avoid that hassle and save time, you should get your prescription ready beforehand.
Yes, I will mention each question in transcript. But for your reference it were related to Aravalli, different rain fall pattern of East & West Rajasthan, desertification, causes etc.
