@foxmulderHappens to many people. Being last interview candidate is dangerous. Forenoon session, they are in a hurry for lunch. Afternoon session, they are in a hurry to go home.

@bevancomin the words of Abraham Lincoln: You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time.

Either your insider is taking you for a ride or you're taking us for one but optional papers are being checked right now..insider telling marks is believable but ONLY during/after tabulation, which will not be before 3-4 December?

@ChampakPanel members are likely to be right wingers as well. Any sort of criticism of government won't be appreciated.

@Champakbro please elaborate on what went wrong in her interview. Last year too I saw one marksheet where one guy got only 96 marks in interview.

How can they give so low marks? I believe if one has average speaking skill with average preparation one must get 150 marks.

@zombielandlying,deliberately mentioning his/her 'status',bluffing,disrespecting the board,poor communication skills etc are common causes for low marks

@ranyo_asokar u sure that the above candidates had poor communication skill? Do you know anyone personally who has got low marks in interview?

Most common cause is getting into unnecessary debate to prove a point.
