@Sopranos may be UPSC has started this. This is good, would lead to lesser bluff games and genuine achievements acknowledged. 


This is happening for the first time in interview ??

4.1k views

can anyone help me with following queries:

1: are candidates from delhi qualifying for interview called first?

2: are candidates called roll number wise for interview? 

In some years, it's state wise. In 2016, aspirants from Kerala were called last, if I remember correct. But in many other years, it seems to be random.

okay sir thanks

need some help with interview from you.

should i right away join mocks?

regarding my subject, should one prepare their optional more or the graduation subject more.

lets say i get a call(the possibility of which i cant rule out), i dont want to be caught off guards. especially if i get 1st week of april. UPSC has clearly warned us by that notification.



I can only tell my experience (and no "sir" please). I didn't attend mocks during the initial period, thought I'll prepare first and then attend. But that's a mistake. It doesn't matter if we get destroyed in a mock (unless they capture the video and upload it without permission). So, I'd say, if some good institute is conducting a mock now, with a good panel, and provided you don't have to travel long distance to attend it, it's good to attend.

To me, questions from both history (optional) and degree subject were asked. But no questions about hone state. Home state, degree subject, optional, hobbies are all equally important. To me, history optional question was asked connected to another fact provided in my DAF (wrt Sanskrit), and from there they asked 3-4 questions, mostly simple and direct.

From degree subject, few practical questions were asked, again pretty basic stuff.

Which all coaching mocks have a good panel and don't post the videos on youtube?

Nowadays nearly all have started posting them on youtube which is a bummer for underconfident, confused and awkward people.

Asking for a friend.

There's no point in trying to prepare everything. Better way would be to take last year's transcript compilation, search for your state/hobby/optional/degree subject, then prepare answers. That's what I plan to do (compiled the questions, but then got lazy😅).

@Capedcrusader1 I think inSider bashing is a futile thing . Ultimately choice is ours to pay heed to them or not. 
In flip side, I think they try to do thankless job to bring insider news .It's upto us to believe them or take them with loads of salt .

I haven't touched a news paper in years😅 what I plan to do first is to list the main issues covered by outlook magazine or any other such 'generic' magazine (and not frontline or epw) in the last few months. Again, another plan, but nothing done so far 😁
