[Official ] Interview Preparation 2021 - Ask Questions, Debates and Doubts, Hobbies, Home State
LIVE Session onStrategic Mistakes and Handling Tricky Questions
LIVE Session for filling up DAF 2 | CSE 2020
Hello All,
So the last time I create a TG for Interview prep we saw some good discussions. However, the group has little archival value, by which I means discussions that happen are not archived on the Internet forever - which is something we need for Civils prep - or at least for the community.
This thread is created by ME circa 2021 to be "The Interview Group"
I am also working on a guide for Interview Preparation - which is kinda here
And a very interesting hobby discussion thread here

Your plan?
want to give but dont know if ill be able to prep with intv round the corner. plus pre is the most dicey stage. cant risk wasting one attempt. not able to read same stuff again like u. skipping will depend on schedule and final result i guess. lets see.
NOLEisGOAT,
bhai abhi se pdna pdega pre ka. time nahi rha. dekhte h
schedule out! insider info spot on. begins 26th april ends 18th june.
mine on first week of may. very little time. feeling so underprepared and anxious. can somebody outline a basic to do list in the run up to interview. from most essential to least please?
nothing mentioned about covid precautions. maybe that explains the delay in releasing schedule? they may have been contemplating over strictness of procedure? depending on situation they may go for strict guidelines like last year. may be outlined in e summon letter.
whatonly,
@Neyawn sir, I got 21st May. What would your advice be about balancing Pre and PT?

@Neyawn sir 2nd para. Plz help. Frankly I dont think i have done much by way of interview specific prep till now. Less than a month left.
June 16th 😬 does anybody have any advice on balancing prelims + interview preparation?
Wait for someone experienced to chip in but i had planned on dividing time 2:1 for pre:interview. My to do for pre would include basic books and pt 365 and then vision+forum tests and previous years.Till 2 weeks before interview. 100 percent interview focus for 2 weeks. Then 100 percent pre after interview (duh 😀)
Ca is common. Basics are common. Infact on the brighter side you will be forced to study topics in depth which one normally wouldnt. Boon for the type of pre they are asking these days.
*pinch of salt* whatever happens whoever advises u etc follow your own gut if u feel u r not doing justice to the interview prep. Interview>>>>>>>next pre in my humble opinion. Atb.
Ppl like me are having their own dilemma. The period after interview is anxiety laden. No real benefit for pre prep. Mind would be distracted for result. Plus so little time for interview prep. Feeling anxious. Need to start doing yoga. Less than a month to go.

I've been doing Surya Namaskar + Pranayam + Bhramari ( 2 sets ) lately. Today was the 4th day.
Lethargy is gone and mental alertness is back. Give it a try. You may start off with Pranayam + Bhramari only if Surya Namaskar makes you uncomfortable.
PS: I was never a 'Yoga person' until now.
Is there any relation between order of interview i.e interview dates and marks of mains exam?
No. I believe the dates are allocated in a way that ensures candidates being interviewed on each day come from different regions. So, the allocation is most likely based on the roll number of the candidates. I saw this pattern in the last few years. Not more than 4-5 candidates from Delhi in each slot. (The code 08 gives it away)
This ensures a diverse set of candidates are interviewed each day. I reckon the idea behind this is to maintain the same standard of comparison throughout the interview process.

Thank you! I'm thinking of doing more or less the same. The two might actually help each other.
I think a month from now is still good time for the interview though! The period after that will be nervewracking for you for sure but I think for interview itself you would be fine. Will add anything that may help once I make my gameplan. Hope the yoga helps. I am thinking of starting too.

I have been that yoga person for the longest time. Only stopped couple of years back. Will get back now.
Surya namaskar is impossible for me. Tried it many times. Frustates me to be regular at it. Dont want to force myself to do it. Pranayam is my go to. Easy going and relaxing. Among these i prefer kapal bhati the most. Then anulom vilom. Finally silent meditation with om chanting and remembering isht devta. Then some stretching like paschimotnasan and vajrasana and padmasana and maybe 1 set of super slow surya namaskar. Thats it. No bhramari. I find it suffocating for some reason. Happy yoga!
