[Official ] Interview Preparation 2021 - Ask Questions, Debates and Doubts, Hobbies, Home State

No issues, go ahead .

There is good scope. That stays. But there will be lot of pairavi.

An old forum member, whom I was not expecting to hear from anytime soon reached out. He was in Naga for like 4 years, now in NIA in Delhi.

Anyone from last year interview. I have a basic doubt. 

Is the interview going to be taken with mask on or with out? 

Does the DAF 2 provide a column for it? If yes, yes is the answer. If no, no is the answer :)

Most probably with masks on, considering that the second wave is ascendent.

Hi, 

This is probably a repeated question. I actually missed out on filling the relevant job experience in DAF-1. Although I don't have a real job experience till now, I've had a couple of internships which I didn't think qualified as a job and therefore missed out in DAF-1. Is there any way to cover it up in DAF-2? I don't see any column for filling job-related experience in DAF-2.

Further, I graduated from college in 2017 and since then have been into USPC preps, however, post the 2018 (failed) prelims attempt, I did try to get back into the job market and did a couple of projects for a lab (without any remuneration), which I ultimately failed to get into, although I do have a letter of invitation from the same to prove my involvement. I did spend close to 5-6 months on this, will it be safe to mention this somewhere if the board raises the question as to what have you been doing for the past ~4 years?  

You are trying too hard to prove you are employable. You are a 2017 pass out. You are not a Neanderthal yet. There are good and honest answers to what you were doing for past 4 years. Go for mocks. Ask this to panels, or mentors you will have perspectives. Discover your answer there.

I got my hands on the MadeEasy brief for mechanical engineering. I am planning to do it to brush up on the basics like laws of thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, etc., things that a class 12th student knows too. I realised I've been so immersed in doing humanities that those simple concepts do not come to my mind easily. I think a cursory glance would do. 

If they dig deep, I'd be saying a 'No' with a smile! At this stage, I do not think we can do engineering subjects in detail. The booklet however can be done in 3-4 days.

I think 'No' is fine if one has not graduated recently. I graduated in 2016. 

please clarify

I have missed 1 digit in my pin number in daf 1, which is showing in daf2 and it cannot be changed.

what should I do?

Sorry for being off topic but are all old forum discussion threads inaccessible now? 

This is what the page says

@Neyawn  Sir, 

I am a graduate in Architecture. In my DAF, I have mentioned my hobbies as logo designing and 3D Modelling/Rendering.

1. Being a relatively lesser known stream related to design , how can I prepare questions in these areas from a layman's perspective ? 

2. Is there any disadvantage being an odd one out ? ( majority being engineers and doctors )

The older forum was not under further development or maintenance . There was some security issues and the service provider has pulled it down. We have to go through the code and find the malicious code and remove it to make it live again.

Some cryptocurrency scam going on there.

You will get about a dozen questions in the DAF analysis session. They are good hobbies. 

There was one CGP kid I remember who had a unique hobby like reading handwriting. Did well, nothing went wrong . Had 185+ in score . They are good. Just don’t bombard the board with too many hobbies.
