How did you ensure &#8220;concept learning&#8221; of your students?<\/li>\n<li>Everything was DAF based. I used lots of data, gave balanced &amp; honest answers, responded everything except 2 factual questions. Rest I&#8217;ve no clue if Sathyavathi ma&#8217;am was impressed or not. Other members looked satisfied, they were nodding and smiling.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Utility of mocks:<\/strong><br \/>\nDon&#8217;t take them seriously (EASIER SAID THAN DONE). Just look at the overall feedback and areas to improve. I gave a hell lot of mocks, some were decent, some were horrible and some very factual. This interview at UPSC was very relaxed. Luckily I wasn&#8217;t asked any difficult sociology\/GS\/graduation questions or any random current affairs question. In fact, I prepared so much for Uttarakhand that I can clear UKPCS now! <img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"emoji emoji-small\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/webogram.org\/z\/img-apple-64\/1f605.png?w=750&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\ud83d\ude05\" data-path=\".\/img-apple-64\/1f605.png\" \/>\u00a0But they didn&#8217;t ask anything from Uttarakhand. That doesn&#8217;t mean we should not prepare, it&#8217;s just that you&#8217;ve to be ready for everything. I was told that teaching, NCC, blood donation are very generic things and they won&#8217;t ask. But you can see so many questions were asked. So don&#8217;t leave any part of DAF.<\/p>\n<p>All the best!
