  • Jeevan Main Ek Sitara Tha
    Maana Vah Behad Pyara Tha
    Vah Doob Gaya To Doob Gaya
    Ambar Kay Aanan Ko Dekho
    Kitne Iskay Taare Toote
    Kitne Iskay Pyare Choote
    Jo Choot Gaye Fir Kahan Mile
    Par Bolo Toote Taaron Par
    Kab Ambar Shok Manata Hai
    Jo Beet Gayi So Baat Gayi

    Jeevan Main Vah Tha Ek Kusum
    They Us Par Nitya Nichavar Tum
    Vah Sookh Gaya TO Sookh Gaya
    Madhuvan Ki Chaati Ko Dekho
    Sookhi Kitni Iski Kaliyan
    Murjhaayi Kitni ballriyan
    Jo Murjhayi Woh Fir Kahan Khili
    Par Bolo Sookhe Phoolon Par
    Kab Madhuban Shor Machata hai
    Jo Beet Gayi So Bat Gayi

    jeevan Main Madhu Ka Pyala Tha
    Tumnay Tan Man De Daala Tha
    Wah Toot Gaya To Toot Gaya
    Madiralya Kay Aangan Ko Dekho
    Kitne Pyale Hil Jaate Hain
    Gir Mitti Main Mil Jaate Hain
    Jo Girte Hain Kab Uthte Hain
    Par Bolo Toote Pyalo Par
    Kab Madiralaya Pachtata Hai
    Jo Beet Gayi So Baat Gayi

    Mridu Mitti Kay Hain Bane Hue
    Madhu Ghoot Phoota Hi Kartay Hain
    Laghu Jeevan Lekar Aaye Hain
    Pyale Toota Hi Karte Hain
    Fir Bhi Madiralaya Kay Andar
    Madhu Kay Ghat Hai Madhu Pyale Hain
    Jo Madakta Kay Maare Hain
    Vey Madhu Loota Hi Kartay Hain
    Va Kachcha Peene Wala Hai
    Jiski Mamta Ghat Pyalon Par
    Jo Sachchey Madhu Sey Jala Hua
    Kab Rota Hai Chillata Hai
    Jo Beet Gayi So Baat Gayi

  • Being an IIT professor, and a senior one at that, we would all agree that Guptaji has seen his share of the world and its people. At the level of experience he and other members of the board have, it’s very likely that they get a good insight into your personality in the first 10 minutes of your interview. Your confidence, composure, your tone of voice, your eye contact, the way you speak and sit, all go into making this assessment. Getting factual answers right or wrong, is important to the extent that you are trying to bluff deliberately or concede respectfully what you are not aware of, or not. For your behavior in the interview, will be considered a good predictor of how you would behave in various situations at work. Is that becoming of a senior civil servant or not, is what the question is.

    I have been in HR for a long time, and while hiring, we assess people for specific traits which are required for the job at hand, rather than their knowledge at large. I can't imagine why UPSC interviews would be any different. So people who are surprised at their actual interview scores (high or low), should be well reminded again that this is called 'Personality test' and not interview for a reason. Questions I ask an experienced person would be different from those that I ask from a relatively fresh graduate. The aim in both the interview formats is the same nonetheless.

    It is difficult to assess your own performance accurately. Your own perception on what should be considered a good / bad interview performance is very likely to be different from theirs. Even the seemingly innocuous questions are meant to assess you on something they want to confirm or reject.

    In conclusion, think more about the overall impression you made, rather than getting a few questions wrong. Attempting to put marks on the experience is futile. If you think everyone liked you, you are probably good.

    Experience: Got grilled for not having read newspaper of that day thoroughly. (Totally my mistake; but who remembers name of all the 15 examinations that have been canceled this year!) I was scolded for having left a good job etc, and sir was not ready to be convinced by any explanation I gave. (May be he was convinced, but was just trying to check my composure.) Interaction with other members were fine and mostly based on DAF and related stuff.

    Expecting marks: 180 (but mind plays tricks, and life is full of twists and turns. :-P )
    Interview Attempt Number : 1
    Previous attempt: Board and Score: n/a

    Opinion:
    Some of the topics in my DAF, which I felt were too interesting to not be asked, --and were indeed asked in all the mocks thoroughly-- elicited only cursory remarks in the actual interview.
    And one lifetime lesson- Read newspaper thoroughly everyday, no matter what happens!
    Faith in Murphy's law restored. "Anything that can go wrong will go wrong." :-)
  • Experience: After seeing the DAF CM showed some curiosity. But, I couldnt recall answers to some factual questions. Then pointed towards reasons optional selection and few questions on Current affairs-factual as well as opinion. Continuously interrupted. Showed lack of interest and worked on computer when other members were asking questions.
    Expecting marks: 160-175
    Interview Attempt Number : 1
    Previous attempt: Board and Score: n/a
    Opinion: Chairman was aggressive (We are not supposed to react in the same way). I have "faith" that Prof way of marking would be decent . I still believe i dint ruin or perform bad. Hoping for the best.

    I think I may have killed this thread inadvertently. Please do continue to discuss your experience and expectations here. For fun if nothing else.

    I personally had an experience much different from expected. The questions I was asked were very general and I felt anyone could have answered them without much preparation. Mostly they were trying to understand if I understood the challenges in moving to a job in civil services after having a successful international career in private sector. I was told that private sector is relatively hassle free, one works a 9-6 shift and does not have to deal with politicians' vagaries, and I spent half the interview justifying my decision to attempt this exam. 2 factual questions in total were asked. Rest was all about understanding what different services entail, some discussion about changes in tax regime, e-commerce companies & their strategy and my comments on the Bastar IAS deciding to not wear the appropriate dress when receiving PM. I couldn't make heads or tails of how my interview went.
    :-SS
  • Why no one is discussing Alka Sirohi ?
  • Prof. HC Gupta is quite kanjoos in giving marks but will open his heart for deserving candidates. So guys chill ...
