Also he was working on his laptop during the whole interview and was not looking at me directly when other members were asking. But he was listening carefully as he asked for clarification once or twice when I was answering to other members.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Member 1<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>\u00a0You must be following the Israel-Palestine issue.

Cross questioning on it as per my answer.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2><strong>Member 2<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>\u00a0You can see portrait of Gandhiji in front of you. When he was assassinated, there was one newspaper which did not cover it on its front page, which was that? Since I did not know it, he said I will tell you. Told it was The Hindu, and then asked why do you think it did not cover? And then asked okay what do you find on The Hindu on its front page everyday? I said advertisement, and then said &#8216;Exactly! The Hindu had advertisements on the front page so it published that assassination news on the second page. And then laughed loudly. All other members including me were also laughing.<\/li>\n<li>Some follow up questions on the same advertisement thing\u00a0 regarding government welfare schemes which are published in newspapers and a SC judgement on the same.<\/li>\n<li>Why Indian Table Tennis players not able to progress on the international level? Some follow up questions.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2><strong>Member 3<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>\u00a0I can say you participated in the elections in Rajasthan held recently. How do I know?

I thanked everyone and left the room.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Your assessment of the board\/your performance: The board was extremely cordial. They were listening patiently with some follow up questions in between. Nervousness ka &#8216;N&#8217; bhi nahi aane de rahe the. Beech beech me to interview vaali feel bhi nahi aane de rahe the vo log. It was a round table setup. It was more of a conversation and they kept adding few points by themselves. The members asked questions in Hindi mostly and used English in between. I answered accordingly.<\/p>\n<p>I could not assess much how I performed.\u00a0 But experience wise too good.<\/p>\n<p>Good luck all! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<div>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>To view all IAS Interview Transcripts,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/forumias.com\/blog\/interview-transcript\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">visit this page<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>For full Interview Preparation Guide:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/forumias.com\/blog\/interview\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Click Here<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Current Affairs For UPSC Exam 2024:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/forumias.com\/blog\/current-affairs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Click Here<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<hr \/>\n<\/div>\n<div><strong>(This transcript has been posted by a community member of ForumIAS)<\/strong><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Date of Interview: 05\/01\/2024 Board: Dinesh Dasa Sir Optional: Mathematics Home State: Rajasthan Background: M.Sc Mathematics, IIT Roorkee Hobby: Table Tennis, To view all IAS Interview Transcripts 2023,\u00a0visit this page Chairman My medium was English but Sir started talking to me in Hindi and asked if I was comfortable in Hindi?
