6. What did the Supreme court say about it?
M4(lady) ( went outside for 10 mins for a phone cal)
1. What do you mean by empowerment?

Daf : medical officer, chess, myhtology (only the questions related to these were asked)
Board : Raj shukla sir
Chairman:
Started with a monolgue on situation in Gaza.
1. What is the situation in Gaza?
2. Why are the talks disrupted?
3. Phase 2 of deal.
4. Why does Trump want real estate development in Gaza. Is he a fool?
Now Ukraine
1. What is happening?
2. What is the solution?
Not much discussion. Long monolgues after almost every question.
M1:
Discussion on targets given to doctors for conducting tests of patients.
Chess engines and what technological development (he called it revolution) made them better than humans.
M2 (lady member) :
Why civil services?
Mahabharata - why did Pandavas win.
Long monolgue on the suffering and learning of Pandavas in 12+1 years.
Are we giving too much to youth that they are lacking ambition?
How to develop value education?
What should be done to promote fundamental duties in schools?
M3 :
Use of ai in diagnosis. It should replace doctors completely.
Gender equality.
Use of medical knowledge in iaas.
(Does not seem to agree with any argument given for ai question)
M4 :
Why doctors are not counseling on diet?
Corporatisation of healthcare. Should we promote it or not?
Some other questions which I'm not able to recall.
Remarks : The experience was totally different from mock interviews. It was full of big monologues and members having their own strong views on most of the themes.
M4 & M3 did not seem to agree with most of the arguments I gave.
Expectations are low. But I've learnt a lot in this process.
Thanks to the members of this group who shared their experiences.
Mocks : Samkalp, NextIAS, Sriram, Unacademy.
Special thanks to MPOA for their support and guidance.
