@rookie my intvw lasted 30-40 min (vinay mittal board) when the intvw was coming to close (M4 had asked me rule of law and i defined it, then a v dicey's 3 aspects then article 14) M4 said "ok thank you" at this point vinay mittal intervened & said "no no let him complete" after this i delivered my killer punch rex lex to lex rex...that intervention would earn me an extra 5 marks btw the duration of intvw has no bearing on marks...if orkut sources r to be believed divyadarshini's intvw lasted 7.5 minutes...she got 225/300 and a modest AIR 1 ) also, i learnt from ifos guys during medical that relatively, vinay mittal board gave v. good marks in the ifos intvws so relax
How is Chattar Singh's board at marking ? Any random idea ? As far as i have come to know, he acts dissatisfied with every candidate's answers but is cordial nevertheless. And since most of the transcripts are coming from his board i feel his board is giving the most feel good to candidates. Dont know how it will translate into marks though.
