Chairman - your interview is over and you can leave. All the best.
Mam reminded me about the mask. She wished me all the best too. I thanked them all and left the room with numerous thoughts and a sigh of relief.
Overall, the interview went on my daf and psychology to a large extent except hon chairman's questions. Reading 'all editorials' compilation for the last month was really helpful to locate the demand of the question. I liberally said 'I don't know' for some questions and they hinted me and asked me to guess. That way the board was cordial and cooperating. I felt the entire discussion chairman sir was trying to do was based on opinion piece appeared on 26th feb in the hindu.
Panel members especially Mam gave me enough opportunities to express my views freely. Overall the entire preparation for interview felt like a walking down the memory lane where every branch of our identity and personality kept on branching out to number of subsequent questions. However sticking to at least the basic things will pay much.
Mocks helped me rethink and rephrase my answers and led me to very important insights. Wish I started giving more mocks at the earliest.
Ksg panel with Khan sir, only ias, vajirao & ravi and chahal academy were good.
Interview preparation though challenging, felt like a rumination of the past and building a bureaucratic attitude for the future.

Chairperson-
Your interview is over, thank you
I said thank you.
Overall feeling cordial board , mostly from DAF and opinion based. Few questions repeated from mocks
Utility of mocks- I gave around 10 mocks just to get my presentation body language posture correct. In my opinion around 5/6 mocks would help to get acquainted with the formalities and also they help to improve presentation and structure of answers
I felt chahal academy's mock near to my actual interview. KSG especially one to one with Khan sir is also good. Apart from that vajirao and Reddy, unacademy were also decent.
Apart from that I used to discuss with my peer group!
All the best for others

Board - Mrs Preeti Sudan Ma'am
Name - neilcantbirdwahtch
Attempt count - 5th Attempt, 1st Interview
Grad - Instrumentation & Control(ICE) Engg
Hobbies - Walking, Online Virtual Football Competition
Duration - 25ish minutes
First one to go. Total 5 members, not a big room with the 4 members on their individual sofa chairs. Impeccably cordial and encouraging board. Felt like a really short interview imo. I gave elaborate responses, they didn't intervene in between. Most of the questions were analytical. Felt like it was actually just a conversation with a natural flow and transition. It didn't seem that they had readymade questions in advance barring one occasion with M4.
Chairwoman-
Ma'am tried to comfort me and put me to ease by telling me that it was just a friendly conversation to know me, and I should be relaxed and free to ask them for clarifications if any.
- So you were an Intern before and then a full time employee at the same company. What were your roles?(PMIC subdivision, PowerON module as an intern, Clocks module as an employee so cellular connectivity ensured in mobile systems during concurrencies)
- Why have we been experiencing call drops of late?
- Physical towers might be replaced with superior tech soon. What's the expected timeline in your opinion?(I told her that my knowledge was rudimentary and I can't give an informed estimate, she accepted the response with an encouraging "Fair enough")
- So you participate in Online Virtual Football Management Tournaments. Elaborate.
- Do you play football IRL?
M1-
- You sound really articulate and I'm impressed by your structured and informed thought process. Tell me, how will you use this thought process in administration?
- From your profile, it looks as if you're a Privileged Delhi boy who has good educational credentials, worked in a well paying job and who is now looking to come work in government for a new experience. What do you have to say to that?
- Tell me honestly, why CSE?
- This is a good response but a typical response we occasionally hear. Tell me what you can add to the administration with your academic credentials.
- EPL(Premier League) is flushed with money. What do you have to say about that?
- So does money matter?
M2-
- How will you use the knowledge of instrumentation and control in administration?
- Delhi pollution, how to solve?
- Use of data in handling pollution?
- Are you aware of the recent issue surrounding data related to kids/minors?
- C emissions, what should be the response?
- Any specific fund catering to this problem?
M3-
- So you spoke about EV in your response to pollution problem, how to encourage EV usage?
- Can you see India moving to exclusively EV based ecosystem in the next 5 years?
- Shouldn't govt create a complete charging ecosystem prior to pushing for EV? Why/Why not?
- Will EV also push the envelope of vehicular safety and telematics further?
M4-
- Every citizen whether rich or poor needs govt support. What can govt do better for citizens, give me some 5-6 reforms required and how to realise them on the ground?
- Speak for a minute in support and against the statement "India will get old before it gets rich".
Chairwoman-
- Your Interview is over, you may leave-
While i was getting up forgot my mask on the table, I was reminded to pick it up by by M1. I politely thanked him for reminding me. I also wasn't able to locate the crease of the door immediately while going out due to curtains and a good camouflaging paint xD.

2. Agriculture in your state is mostly rice related. What problems do you have in rice cultivation
3. Do you know of soil productivity (he said something else but the essence was the same. I said I don't know exactly but if you allow me I would like to try)
4. Gave a monologue about 3 rice crops then asked me to explain. Bataya bhai generic baate.
5. Tell me about the cheetah mission.
6. But what are the benefits of it?
7. But tigers and panthers can also do the same thing. Why are we not introducing them? (I said habitat is different for them. Plus cheetahs were there in the areas we are reintroducing them)
Said there are some more reasons. Look them up.
M3: (he was to my exact left but he was speaking so low that I couldn't hear him on 2 occasions)
1. Do you think history is biased?
2. But history is fact based. Why is it biased then? (Said sir it depends on the historian's perspective as well as the new information we unearth from time to time)
3. Do you think history is dead?
4. Why should we save our museums? (I mistakenly heard should instead of why. He corrected me. Said that they are a repository of our culture. Even my interest in history began when I visited the Indian museum in Kolkata)
Two or three more questions. All were history related.
M4: (sir)
1. I'll give a situation. You are the CEO of the municipality of a city. Industries there need skilled workers, but people of the area are not willing to let migrant workers come in. How would you balance the need of all stakeholders? Take a minute and answer. (Essence of the question was this. He spoke for nearly a minute)
