Guys, Essay Paper is over. How was it?
@paranthapijja Yeah would like to see atleast recorded video session
Hopefully forum knows that there are aspirants even outside Delhi
@tarun17 I think they didn't keep live session because, they might want to do post video editing etc...
@arjunas oh ok
@arjunas it's no longer available. They've made it private

A piece of advice to all those preparing for personality test. Make a through background check of all upsc members. Make a thorough analysis of your own background. Based on the above, anticipate as many questions as possible and prepare tailor made answers to each question. Keep abreast of all national and international issues and have your opinion on them. Be politically correct and appear energetic & optimist. l got 65% in one interview despite committing mistakes regarding etiquette and other stereotypical aspects, which coaching gurus overemphasise .Dont attach much importance to what so called success gurus preach. All this is pure wastage of time and money.
@paranthapijja Oh yes, it was a good session but why did they take it down ?
Maybe i will try to send some important points i noted down !
Hey Have a Doubt :
I HAVE Seen that in Insider outside vacancy distribution for CSE 2021 wrt SC category TAMILNADU, THERE IS 0 Insider vacancy.
But as per Cadre allocation released for CSE 2021, SC TAMILNADU IAS seats has been allocated to insiders (Both 2 seats)
How is that possible??
Why this is happening?? Reasons??
@tmblnd1325194 Gentleman, is mechanical engineering your optional? ( if not what is your optional).
Nptel lectures can help. Start with basic like thermodynamics ( 3 laws of thermodynamic),som,Tom machine design, ic engines. your undergraduate project can be asked in interview for starter. Any paper published
@Kenshein Hey, i took Geography Optional. Just a mechanical engineering graduate. Forgotten almost all basics. Won't nptel would go deep into the topics beyond what is required for CSE interview??
Any basic Mechanical engineering basic Q&A??
@tmblnd1325194 R.K Rajput book is there in Q and A form. But it can be useful only one knows basic.
We can only do the basics of core subject, and not devlve deep into topics. For starter we can divide mechanical engineering into 4parts ( for sake of interview preparation and importance.):
1) design( basics: factor of safety, centre of gravity, centroid(no body is going to ask the formulae but the significance)
2)thermal ( 3 laws, entropy, AC working( most important question as interview would be conducted in ac hall), chimney working ( related to pollution)
3) fluid mechanics( bernouillis and pascal, pumps functioning types)
3)production.( personally not good at it- iron diagram)
4) automobile and ic engines , ignition system ( basics- Otto, diesel cycles,)-bs4 and bs6 changes, Volkswagen controversy.( current affairs related to mechanical engg). ( interviewer owning a car)
In end we can shortlist few probable and important topics from the course and prepare it. No need for doing the whole course.
Your domain of your project in undergraduate can be probable question ( usually in any private service interview, they start conversation with your project and then expand it to other domains- this might be done).
Do you have any paper technical published? ( this might be area of interest for examiner and you can direct the interviewer in specific area in which you are prepared.)
The engineering question would be hardly 0 - 25% of interview time ( 30 minutes). But I think it would be scariest part of interview.
Transcript of mechanical engineers from previous year can also aid. I have noticed that mechanical engg were asked about FAME SCHEME.
All the best.
@arjunas can you please provide the important pointers of the session.
