# INTERVIEW EXPERIENCE

Documents required on the day of interview.
> Esummon (+ID card mentioned in the registration)
> 10th certificate original (+1 photocopy) - used for DOB verification, mark-sheet usually not required
> college degree original (+1 photocopy) - provisional can work, but original need to be submitted after some time
> OBC/EWS original (+1 photocopy) - as per prescribed format
> Two passport size photographs, (don’t worry about latest)

> Don’t worry about self-attesting anything, During document verification they help you with that.

After entry
You are guided to a place where you can place your belongings, also COVID kit is provided. you are asked to wear, the provided gloves and mask, face shield is also given but need not wear during DV. You can only carry one document folder and pen after this point. (put your purse, watch, rings, metro cards, coins etc as they won’t allow you to carry anything inside the interview room)

After that you go to next room where document verification and attendance (photo clicked and signature) will be taken.

During DV, you have to fill few forms and self attest copies, so carry a pen, also Travel allowance form is filled at this point. if there is any problem in document they will write in a form and give you a copy and tell you to send the fresh or rectified original document via Post to UPSC. 15 day time is mentioned, but it is not strictly followed.

The order of Interview is usually according to the roll number split in six and arranged in ascending order.

After DV, they give you back your documents,

One other guy (say X), whose only job is to guide you to the interview room asks you to follow him, place your document folder and pen back at the place where your belongings are placed in 1st step.

After one more security check.

You are asked to sit in a chair just outside the office of the panel member (round corridor, with a view of small garden), a table pedestal fan is there to keep you cool, also water bottle is there.

At the appropriate time, when the members are ready, X will ask you to put the face shield on as you are about to go in. (in other panel, CP asked for no face shield, so they left it outside, but in that case you have to constantly wear the mask, and members were also wearing mask)

X will open the door for you, you ask permission to come in.

You greet members and CP asks you to sit.

Chairman is sitting besides a typical office table. other 3 panel members, are sitting on small chairs 2 on your left side, and one on the right, each having small table.

You sit in a chair, which is well cushioned, with arm rests going all the way round the back to the other side.
CP after reading your DAF, asks you something, and during your answering asks to pull your mask down up-to the chin level. because of the face shield your voice sounds louder to you.

Panel members were not wearing any protective cover in my panel. there were also no glass shield anywhere (may be they got the vaccine 😝)

CP (BB Vyas) mobile rang in between the interview, overall he was cooperative and attentive and eager to listen. He has also a sticky note pad, from where he was asking technical questions.

2. What are other cases when we prefer this curing? (Precast members...)
3. If temp is below zero degree then how concreting is done?
(I've answered isolation..bla bla But last mein woh khud bole ki garam paani daal do)
4. Hot climate concreting?
5. If I have limited water then how to cure concrete?

Now, that ESE Interviews are almost over, we all eagerly waiting for the results, please take some time off to write a brief (or comprehensive) Transcript of your interview, stating your experiences and insights. Which will be beneficial for future candidates.

Think of the time, you began preparing for the interview, and how clueless you were about the interview, coaching institutes were of little help, in providing the answers.
First-hand account of the interview process and experience instils confidence among candidates. Freely available interview transcript gives a better understanding of the flow of the interview.

It would be nice if one could find all the information, at one place, It would save time and effort and preparation will be much more directional and effective.

Now, It is Your time to Help

I would also like to thank all the candidates, who have already shared their transcripts, You can always add to your transcript by tagging the old one and giving the updated information.

Thank You!! & All the Best !!! 🙏✌️🖖🙂
