Interview CSM 2019 queries

@rahul21-in1641 Generally candidates who live away from Delhi get late interview date. However there is no such rule. Interviews will start only after 10 feb.

@visionmanthe state you were born? or the state where your father/grandfather belonged to i guess will be the most appropriate in your case

@visionmansaid inInterview CSM 2019 queries:

Is there any rule or criteria which could be put as home state? Is domicile required coz i dont have one in any state. Or one which is your birth place?
I have lived in various states, changed cities every 2-3 years. And frankly I dont know much about cultural or historical part as I did not live enough for a long time. Just know the basic info about each state that I have lived and their language enough to communicate.

UPSC has been very liberal in allowing one to choose any state as their home state in such cases.. So choose any state that suits you, and where you have spent sufficinet time, or were born, or yoru father belongs to, and whichever you want or dont want to work in after selection.

No questions are asked. However, dont announce it to everyone as you will only face an issue if someone makes a claim that your choice of home state is not justified. That is the only thing you have to be worried about.
