  • in call letter it is mentioned that in case there is any discrepancy in name of the candidate or father, then an affidavit is required and gazette notification in case of major...... the surname of my mother is diff. (like Rekha Devi and Rekha Sharma) in my school and graduation certificates.....do i need some affidavit for mother`s name also ?

  • My interview was with Manbir Singh Sir's board on April 11th , I was the first candidate in the morning session . The interview was quite cordial . When i came back to the waiting room the others in my group exclaimed that I came back very fast , I guess my interview lasted less than 15 minutes. Please tell me what could possibly have gone wrong ?

    dont worry
    last year apana int bi manvir singh nay 13-15 minute mein finish kar diya and gave 180 marks

    I met a couple of people from Mittal board. He is known to ask personal questions from DAF. Such as why did you go into MBA, Why do you have low marks in MBA/eng/school, Why do you have a gap after engineering, How many years did you prepare, What did you do during that time, Why this optional, Is it because of coaching, etc. Better get yourself ready for personal cross examination if you land on his board.
  • Hi All,

    Posting for the first time as I have just started preparing. A friend appeared for the interview on 9th. Tried pasting her interview experience in the comment box but apparently too long. Here is the link -

    Would very much appreciate your comments on the same.

    Thanks
