Are you sure about the use of the term 'requisite' here? Remarkably, no relation has yet been made between filling pages and getting less marks. Or more, for that matter.

@foxmulderAb itni choti choti galtiyaan pakode to kya hi bol sakte hain.
PS-other than essay and 15 markers,I have'nt filled all pages in any of the questions.
For 10 marks in majority I filled between 1.5-1.75 pages,in 20 markers in optional I filled between 3-3.5(4 pages were given).
I also believe there is no relation between filling pages and getting marks but yeh baat forum peh kuch logon ko pehle samajni chahiye as I saw many people arguing about filling pages even if it means writing irrelevant things

@ChampakInterviews started on 11th of February this year. So almost one month and 20 days after the results. They squeezed the IFoS interviews and results in between. This year too the timeline suggests similar happenings. DAF-II was filled last year too in a way, the service and cadre choices were asked separately in January. This time DAF-II will have hobbies section as well and some new ones maybe if they choose to.

@corrigible_87I write medium-sized letters with 1.5 line spacing. So, at times, even I myself feel that I didn't write enough.

The path to success is never easy, its rough and tough for sure. But, what is guaranteed in the journey is that one day our efforts will bear a fruit, the form of which is difficult for almost all of us to conceive presently.

In this challenging path, this channel would help you gain momentum. It will cheer you up when you are feeling little sad and it will try making you humble when you are too happy to be sane.

The focus of this channel would surely be students giving competitive exams but more so, it will help everyone around to introspect and get motivated.

Share with your friends as well.

Best Wishes for an engaging journey with us.

Warm Regards
