4. Don’t you think you took the seat of a candidate who could’ve utilised the IIT seat to pursue engineering?
5. How did you turn towards civil service preparation?
6. Why are IITians and engineers doing everything else apart from pursuing their core engineering field, gave me 3 choices as to what the reason could be (I already had an answer ready so didn’t quite listen to the three options rather gave an alternative 4th option :p)
*Member 2*

2. Can AI make devotional songs?
3. Suppose you sing devotional songs and I like you very much, tomorrow there is a robot who replaces you, would I still like it as much? (I said it’s a personal choice, personally I would prefer to have some human connection but it may vary from person to person)
4. But AI can use your voice to compose songs even after you’re gone, so AI can lead us into some very dark alleys. ( I said that it has equally good potential to lead us into light alleys)
5. Thank you, your interview is over.
Experience: The room was very comfortable, its aesthetics calmed my nerves down initially. Chairman sir was keenly listening and responding to my answers and expressions. M1,M2-smiling in between

Chairman Sir - Your interview is over. Do you want to ask something. (I said no sir and thank them for the opportunity)
Overall Experience - The interview board was very cordial. Chairman sir was very supportive and listening to every answer patiently.
Mock Interviews - samkalp, chahal, vajiram, nextias. Mock interviews will help you for etiquette but sometimes their suggestion should be taken with pinch of salt. (For example in one mock they advised me to be very direct in criticizing any govt policies that I felt was wrong. However this is not the right approach for the interview.
For this I found Rahul Sir (IAS PCS Pathshala) approach very apt that whenever any controversial question is being asked then here you can critically analyze government policies but without being directive, instead you should be suggestive.
One to One - Ravindran sir, Dharmadhikari sir and Rahul sir (ias pcs pathshala). If time permit and possible then Ravindran sir and Rahul sir one2one are an absolute must attend. Thanks to @psm0506 for suggesting these two one2one sessions at the last moment.
It was one of the great experience of my life.
Wishing everyone all the best ❤️
