Posting here interview transcript of Aparajita. , 201 marks in interview and rank is about 82 or so

Bhosle sir board 

English. 

Afternoon session

Fifth to go 

Entered, wished chairman and then all members.  Sat down. Sir told me to bring chair closer to the table. Did so. Asked me to feel. Comfortable.. Explained me the process.  

Chairman 

1. How are you feeling dr aparajita?  This is rare opportunity that i am asking a doctor this as usually doctors ask how I am feeling.  ( scanned the room,  glanced the examiners,  was a bit nervous) 

Smiled back.  Replied, "I am good sir "with smile 

Cm 2: 

So seeing from your daf,  you have been very good in academics,  you gave diverse interests so we will ask you few questions.  There is water if you need. You have paper and pen.  Think before you speak and feel comfortable. 

What is this idcf ( from daf)  what did you exactly  do in it?  

Me:Sir idcf is intensive diarhoea control fortnight. 

Q.Explain more about it

A: Diarhoea is one of the major causes of childhood mortality. It is also  responsible for malnutrition in children which becomes a vicious cycle.  

Q.Your role in it 

A:Sir ors zinc corner at phc was organised.  Went to anganwadis we were alotted,  went to houses to ask if there is any child,  and if there is he/ she having any complains of diarhoea.   Q.Explained breast feeding mothers in those houses about importance of breast feed and danger signs in a child.  Gave ors and zinc tablets.    Discussed with stakeholders how to prepare ors.  

Q .What else for diarhoea is being done?  

A.Imnci, rotavirus vaccine ,sanitation drives,deworming ( few cross questions can't recall)  

2. How did you prepare for breast feeding awareness week?  

A.Sir as we interns were told to address the gathering, first of all we prepared the right information to be delivered as we were in a responsible position.  

Reading bookish language would have not worked.  I am versed with local dialect haryanvi so inculcated it to explain better as mothers would connect better.  ( nobody would understand colostrum,  everyone would understand shuru me nikalne wala peela dudh:  used hindi here)  

Dummy doll of cloth or simple doll was tried for live demonstration. ( where to place the head how to hold baby) 

We waited for querries in public and if any mother was shy she could approach us after gathering as many mothers in rural areas don't feel comfortable discussing such issues in public. 

Q.What were the challenges you faced,  can you ennumerate.  What question were asked 

 How would you react?  Do the mothers openly raise doubts?  

A:1. Myths about breast feeding like shehad chata do..  Cow milk is better than mother milk.. If baby gets jaundicr don't feed or if baby/ mother is ill don't breast feed.  

2. One of mother in law was asha,  the daughter in law was shy. Women don't ask.  ( they all Laughed) 

3. Breast absess is because of breast feeding. ( many have this myth) 

How to take care of such issues.  

4. How much to feed when to feed.  

5. Signs of proper attachments

( I went a bit fast in all these,  sir seemed impressed)  

Q .Issues in tackling such issues with moms (explained _ there was a light joke)   explained oope,  ayushman bharat,  access to services,  faith in private sector,  stats for anc checkups and immunisation  etc(nfhs quoted)) 

 Q.Who gathered public_asha ( there was a comment don't you think they are hard to catch.. I smiled,  that they have huge responsibility and at times it's difficult to coordinate but I think with right coordination and planning we can a lot roles to all stake holders) 

 Q.Where are we lacking in providing access to those women 

challenges of equality in women sector.  Equal rights vs equality of rights.  There was a beautiful quote.. Can't recall it.. Sir asked me to explain it 

It's essence was that equality of rights in political terms is meaningless if social and economic empowerment is not done along with it.  The glass ceiling is not visible.  If a wife has no say in home decisions or the daughter in law in some extremely poor family is the last one to eat food because of custom of everyone eating first or if she doesn't have say on her health,  pregnancies or career choices then true empowerment is difficult.  Laws and policies can command from top but ultimately social change will be from society. Beti bachao beti padhao can be otruely successful only when beti ko man se padhao(spoke on these lines.. Almost similar) 

Why women don't come forward  (explained a bit poetically)  three reasons _ society along history.. Attitude that can't shouldn't.. Nothing will change.. At times women pull down women that's a bit disappointing. But on a positive note now daughters are moving forward. 

Why issue in public health access. 

 light joke

Member 1  

1. How do you manage headache ( technical) 

2. What do you ask specifically. 

3. Similar scenario.. Chaha kya mila kya.. Any govt scheme you want to discuss ( i said rntcp)  he said no somethin more common.. Rntcp is like your comfort zone. 

4. He said I decide demonetisation 

5. Success failure( success in terms of increasing direct tax base.. Rest failures explained. 

6. Why

7 who do you blame 

8 is it only bankers fault 

9. I replied any policy is as good as its implementation.  So i think mismanaged planning ,  corrupt officials if they indulged and also corrupt people responsible. 

Member 2

 surrogacy ethical issues.

Cross question that you are confusion creating with invitro.  Seperate them and clarify. Did so gave examples of Japanese couple comtroversy,surrogacy in gujrat,  cerebral palsy baby and recent news of embryo being carried by air illegally. 

Member 3

India Pakistan diplomacy many counter questions( extended a bit... There were few jokes here and there)  

Foreign secretary stance

India China issue

Air craft carier

First air craft carier( I said sir it was hms from britain,  it was made museum.. It's either virat aur viraj I can't recall now) 

Floating air base of India

How do you solve the cross border issue 

Pakistan positive and negative of all approqches available( they said take a minute and answer by considering everything.. Used paper and pen here)  

Member 4

Khap panchayat and many cross questions asked to take stand ( said that once upon a time they were relevant people looked upon them.. But now we have constitutional machinery laws and everything in place.  So letting a social body become judge jury executive is a risky step.  They may have taken frw good decisions  but many we're controversial)  asked which?  Jeans/ using cell phones.. Parading a particular caste person..role in Manoj babli hatyakand ( I realised I used hatyakand and then made oops face),  social boycott etc.. 

Whqt is similar between your place of birth and the place you stay what's difference ( explained with stats)

Why do you live in one district  ans you are born in another 

Why with grandparents 

Chairman

Ted talk with weird name. 

(Not watched).  Do watch it

I will tll you crux of it 

Now you explain

Creative life in children how to bolster 

( answered_

 Coincidentally was on similar lines of talk ..sir was like lier you have seen it..the chart idea was in it.. I was like it's a good coincidence that I turned out lucky here.

( I said village level  three  zones .. Anganwadi for pre school non formal education( give a kid blank chart..domt teach him how to draw a tree..tell him to draw how he percieves it..very cheap..ome chart and colors needed..) Similarly singing prayers or dancing can be seen right from that level.... Govt school for opportunities and career development ( I ended up saying sir we can't always complain of lack of resources most of athletic games don't require expensive equipment..games like khokho, relay race etc just need ground and talent and outgoing students career counseling( mentioned kota delhi as coaching hubs suicide rates etc) right at village level

What is good news

(I don't know) 

Three o clock modi 

I said I didn't have access we are not allowed

I will break it to you

Anti satellite missil e

What do you think kya h ye 

Explained. It turned out to be correct t

We should not be expecting this from you but Who is having it other than us

( ended up saying if India tested China might be having)  

Smiled. 

What will you do after you go from here

Will watch manikarnika with grandparents

Jhasi ki rani?  

Yes sir.  

Pay our regards to your grandparents.  

All the best. 

Good luck.  

( was getting up.. Saree got entangled in a nail.. I was like either come out or get torn.. But any how it punched  out of that nail..And I rushed out to after wishing good day and thanking all) 

I have missed few factual questions and situation based questions specially in ir( kartarpur cprridor khalistan etc.which we all know)..  It would have become over detailed.  When I recall I will resend.  

That was my interview.  

I went a bit fast while speaking.  

Thanku.

Copy Paste #2

On anti satellite missile part.. When he told me the good news I reflexly said congratulations sir.  He smiled and asked why are you congratulating me.  I said congratulations to all honourable board members and our country for such development in field of science and tech.. They all started laughing.

Interview Transcript.pdf

@orchid123 Congrats on your interview call!

When is your interview scheduled? Started with mocks?

@orchid123 I hope you are the same person whose copies I saw this year before Mains :-?

Thanks Neyaw ,

Much useful.

@Neyawn sir, what are the key attributes the board looks for in allotting 200+ score ? 

MassiveSuccesssaid

@Neyawn sir, what are the key attributes the board looks for in allotting 200+ score ? 

200+ Marks is not something you plan for. The goal should generally be to do a good interview and ensure not getting a low or average marks.

In hindsight, three people I know who got 200+ marks were Kajal, Aparajita and Krishan. 201,201 and 204.

What I would say is that they had good preparation. They were very objective in answers. Please do not go by their videos. if you do not find those things / qualities, remember that during preparation, people evolve.

Krishan was fine from Day 1 but others made improvements. Also, they were fully involved in the interview. They are generally simple in the way they answer too :)

Lakshmisaid

@MassiveSuccess Can’t really generalise. But I’m sure anyone will be really pleased with a person

1. Who is true. Doesn’t project what one isn’t.

2. Is well informed. This doesn’t mean knowledge. But a personality that shows understanding of issues beyond superficial content.

3. Is composed, assertive. Doesn’t require language fluency/ costly attire. But presence of mind + confidence in presenting oneself. 

Just my two cents ?

Cheers!

When I talked about mis - representation, what I mean is that it may not be concious effort. It may happen sub consciously or unknowingly.

Because we generally want to write things in the DAF, we do end up mentioning stuff we have done for like 2 days as one of our achievements , or interest areas. The nature of Board is also that they try to verify the authenticity of your claim by cross questioning.

Is there any one here selected for interview under EWS? Please message me. 

I think we need to discuss regarding the particulars of EWS certificate to be submitted. 

The CSE 2020 notification has been released and they mentioned that FY 2018-19 is the period for which income has to be verified (meaning, ITRs for 2018-19 has to be submitted).

It means, for last year applicants, your ITRs has to be available for 2017-18. Did every one get ITRs (FY 2017-18) verified by the EWS issuing authority? 

Since we applied for EWS after the financial year 2018-19 , it becomes a bit tricky. Some got ITRs verified for 2018-19. 

Message, me, I think this needs discussion 

is there any thread where this year's transcripts are being uploaded?
