@Neyawn sir, DAF asks for leadership positionsin school/college.I did something while I was in college, but that had nothing to do with the college. It was in an organisation in the city. Will it be okay to include that?

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.

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.

Any guesses as to when interviews may start? Given the new prelims date.

People born in one state (whose language is your mother tongue) but with another state as home state (where you were brought up) - how much are you guys preparing on birth state? I am not sure how much is enough :/
