Hello friends,(from Odisha..:) )
I could not help but notice there are threads for preparation of interview for individual states. On a similar line I think we should start a discussion for people from Odisha hoping to get an interview call. Its late already as the results may get out any day now and we have less than a month or a fortnight to prepare.
This is a honest request for all serious aspirants to kindly contribute to this thread with genuine and serious questions.My special request to people with past interview experience, who definitely knows better what kind of questions we can expect regarding our state,to guide the first timers. Past interview transcripts,if any,are encouraged to b shared.
People from outside Odisha are also welcome to take part in a constructive way.
Lets get the best out of the few remaining days..:)
P.S. I am assuming there is no Odisha specific Interview preparation threads as I could not find one.If there is already an active thread which I might have missed,please inform me and we can continue to discuss there.
