1.What makes Interview board give you a good score such as 190+ ??

Any suggestions. 

Confidence.. balanced opinion..  being polite, respectful and humble.. calm and composed.. do not get rattled in any situation..

Overall.. expect around 170 if you feel you have fulfilled the above criteria.. 190+ if performed really well..

There is a general perception that Sri RN Choubey sir do not give good marks in interview.

is this true?

Does anyone else felt that their interview was too factual, specially BB Vyas Board??

My 60 to 70 pc interview was factual 

Although none of the facts were irrelevant but still too much fact orientation. 

Board was cordial barring

1.few deliberate negative tinge

2.laughing on one of my wrong answer.

3.poker face of members 

Is BB Vyas board too strict in giving marks?

Any idea?

However, most of the facts asked to me were too deep.I prepared my subjects well and thats why was able to answer most of them but still my interview felt weird and unidimensional.
