We will post UPSC Interview Transcripts regularly under the Interview Preparation Initiative.

Why Interview Transcripts?

• These transcripts are just a collection of UPSC Interview experiences from different candidates.
• The purpose of these transcripts is to provide individual experience and how they faced the board.
• In a way, it affects the way candidates are understood, the information they share, and the conclusions drawn.
• You’ll be able to identify the constraints and opportunities before you when facing the interview board.
• Though providing transcripts, which is a behind a scene task, the aim is to provide a valuable input that you are looking for that you are hesitant to ask someone.
• It might help to re-evaluate your approach , and take a look at what really needs to be done.
