@RK6163 Pls let us know about your optional..... Is Chattar Singh a cordial person.??? Do they give sufficient time to express oneself or does anyone in the board cut short you in case the answer got protracted? E.g. the question on women empowerment and Whistleblower one...
@ging7 did you have wildlife/environment as your interests or were those questions random? Also, if you could list the wildlife questions asked to others in your group. Thanks
it was random. I don't see any connection to my DAF. I will try to list some of the interesting wildlife questions asked of the others later...
Fantastic firing you faced...all the best..was it morning or afternoon session?..just curious...
Mine was in the afternoon session. By the time our board was known, it was to be either RR or AS left. We didn't even know what to wish for!
@Ging7 Do you mean that although RR and AS are among the senior most, but that does not mean that their Board will always be the first one to get allocated.....?
So people in the afternoon session whose Roll No was numerically lower than yours did get boards other than RR and AS... is it? thanks!

The boards finish lunch/breakfast in their own sweet time, open the envelopes matching them to particular group and then asks for the first candidate. Until then the group doesn't know which board is allocated to it. It is random and not based on seniority, or rather, senior board members might come in later and hence be the last to call! Roll number order has no bearing also, btw.
@Ging7 was your interview on 22nd april? If so, wildlife ques must ve been asked cos of Earth day.....
nahin nahin. I was back home in time for Earth Day. Also, wildlife questions were asked on other days too. During my medicals, we had long discussions about respective interview exps. If I get time, I will try to compile what I remember. Should be useful for others.
One more interesting thing - majority of candidates this year seems to be currently in various services. (I met many IPS, IRS, IFoS officers) Explains why very few transcripts are trickling in - they have to go back to training the next day and won't find time to write/post.
They have an advantage.... their interviews are much more focused on their service.
@ging7 the member who asked u about Kannada heritage culture books translation etc, was he a kannadiga? Or atleast did he appear as though he had some knowledge of Kannada ??
