2-3 Que ठीक से याद नहीं आ रहे है।

overall Experience - अच्छा रहा 😇 + Board members ने comfortable feel करवाया + इंटरव्यू उस दिशा में ले जा पाया जिसमें मै सहज था ।

Mistakes -

-PG degree ही ले जाना भूल गया 😐+ पता नहीं था कि DAF में mention सभी डोक्यूमेंट जाएंगे हॉलाकि बाद में जमा करने की छूट मिल गई ।

- 3 शत्रु बताने थे मुझे - तुर्की याद आया + दूसरा मैंने नॉर्थ कोरिया का नाम लिया ( चेयरमैन सरको थोड़ा अजीब लगा हालांकि मैंठीक से एक्सप्लेन नहीं कर पायालेकिन कौटिल्य के मंडल सिद्धांत से जोड़कर उसे शत्रु साबित कर सकता था लेकिन याद नहीं आया ) + तीसरा देश मुझे याद नहीं आया क्योंकि नेबर्स (चीन + पाक ) को हटा देने से शत्रु कम हो जाते है ।

Chairperson
Pehle Btech, phir Mtech, then MBA ab yahan? What is your goal? - I want to be in the civil services, Sir.
Phir itna ghum ke kyu aana hai? Seedha hi aa jate? - Prepared answer
What are Indias status in terms of aerospace in capacity?
I talked about missiles. India is one of the leading in development of missiles. Sir interrupted and started a long monologue that yes it is developing but India is not able to build a deterrence like China has.
Next I talked about Tejas aircrafts which is still not to our desired production capacity. Sir again started a long monologue on how HAL is paying very less amount to engineers to build AMCA program, brain drain.
He was asking what should we do about it? I was saying we need to bring private sectors and we are already doing it. Mentioned about drone startups and how they are innovating new technologies. Sir again interrupted then again gave a monologue on how we have bureaucratic inefficiencies that is creating problem. I agreed with him.
How is IIT Kanpur faring in aerospace? I said its one of the leading institutes and have unique facilities like wind tunnel facility.
How are the professors? I told that they are very renowned professors, when I was there.
Do you have any idea like Elon Musk? I told, I have not thought about it yet. I have decided to be in the civil services. (Everyone was smiling and sir remarked it’s a good thing)
M1 (a lady)
What kind of civil servant will you be? I tried answering relating to my technical, managerial and work ex background.
Which dish you like? I answered Biriyani
You studied in RK Mission. Tell me about Ramakrishna mission. - I mentioned about its history and philanthropic activities.
How are they faring in philanthropic activities?
As Sir (Chairperson) was mentioning we are unable to transform research to technology. What do you think reforms needed in the education sector? I talked about industry academia partnership and that Indian govt is focusing on R&D more.
What qualities do you think is most important in civil services? I told about Emotional intelligence and integrity.
How is emotional intelligence related to civil services?
M2
You worked on aircraft engines. Tell me about your project. A long discussion there about how is it relevant. Sir was thinking I worked on the actual Kaveri engine. I clarified that it was a computer simulation.
You worked on air to air missiles. Tell me about it. Again clarified that it is based on Astra Missile but it is also a computer simulation.
Range of Akash Missile. - I am unable to recall
Ballistic missiles vs cruise missiles
Hypersonic missiles
Indian missile arsenals
What range do you think we need to have a missile so that we can hit Beijing? I told that we have Agni as the highest range of 5000kms but Russia is building missile which it claims has unlimited range. We are nowhere close to it. We have to develop technologies.
Do we import tracking technologies used in missiles? - I am not aware of

M3
Tell me about your project about airports. A discussion on that and how Indian airports revenue differs from global airports. Told that india is one of the most under served region and mentioned about UDAN scheme which is changing this. Then told that in India most of the airport revenue comes from Non Aero sources compared to global airports where most of it comes from aero sources.
What suggestion you gave? Talked about vision of converting airport as a destination hub rather than just a transit point. We must use the outside area to generate more non aero revenue. and said that most of my recommendations were along this line to improve customer enagagement.
