Experience:
Members were observing and listening carefully. They were digging deeper into many areas of discussion with follow up questions. Occasionally members were smiling but overall neutral or reserved.

Utility of mocks:
1 being comfortable and confident in such an environment
2 preparing and practising expected areas of DAF/current affairs
I would recommend mock interviews at Chanakya Mandal Pariwar, Chahal Academy, Samkalp, Unacademy
O2O with Khan Sir and Raveendran Sir
