Over all Experience बहुत अच्छा रहा सारे मेंबर बहुत ज्यादा Support कर रहे थे। this is my 4th CSE Interview ये पिछले 3 इंटरव्यू से best था क्यों कि इस बार मेरा कॉन्फिडेंस बहुत सही था, इंटरव्यू लगभग discussion mode में ही चला है, मुझे उन्होंने पूरा टाइम दिया 25-30 minutes।
इस बार 10+ मॉक दिए हैं उनका भी लाभ मिला और सबसे ज्यादा लाभ informal group discussion का मिला हमने 10 लोगो के साथ एक ग्रुप बनाया और अच्छा डिस्कस किया इंटरव्यू में लगभग सारे Questions उनके आसपास ही थे।
My Suggestion - Mock में ज्यादातर कोचिंग Knowledge and information पर judge करते हैं उसको ज्यादा दिमाग में नहीं लेना है, real interview mock से 100 गुना better होता हैं और वो knowledge से ज्यादा over all आपकी personlity ही टेस्ट कर रहे है।

3. Then he asked about some former British PM/military ruler that do you know him (I said sorry sir, I don't know about him)
4. He then asked about another person, again someone I had never heard of. He said okay no problem, a member intervened and said that sir she has done her graduation in dairy
5. So then he asked what have I studied in that, I gave him a detailed overview
6. Where do you apply all this, you haven't done any job right? You have been preparing only. (I said yes sir I have been preparing after my graduation & this is my 2nd attempt. I also mentioned my saras internship here as I felt ki sir ko na meri degree me interest tha + unhe ye bhi lag raha tha ki maine ise kahi apply nahi kiya)
7. He then asked about saras, its competition with amul, export kyu nhi krte and all, their products, turnover (I gave answers to these but did not know the related data as I had not filled this internship in daf, so wasn't prepared much on this)

4. Have you seen that biopic on Indira Gandhi (I have seen quite a few biopics but not this..so I replied ki I haven't seen this, she said you should see it later, it's a good watch esp for your generation)
5. Then she gave a long description of the movie 'Pink' and asked should marital rape be criminalised in India?
6. Brahmos missile, with whom we have made, to which countries we have exported?
7. Can India become capable of exporting more, we import so much?
8.

She said that Myanmar pehla nation tha kya ese 'Myanmar first' krne wala..and should India also follow this 'India First policy'?

M4: (he also asked from DAF)
1. Which is your fav bhajan? Composer and singer?
2. What is graphene solar cell milk chiller? Follow up - will you implement this in your district if you're made the collector?
3. How will you increase milk productivity?
4. Tell us something about your district?
Interview got over, chairman sir said thank you and all the best!
I thanked all and left.
(I might have forgotten some questions)
My experience:
1. Chairman sir had a poker face all throughout. All members except M3 maintained pleasant faces & nodded in between.
2. As I was the last one to go, I even felt that I was given less time to think before answering. Some members were in a hurry to jump to the next question.
3. I had a slightly different experience in the real interview vis-a-vis mocks as most of the questions in mocks used to be from DAF. Nevertheless mocks do help you in getting accustomed to a panel interaction & test your level of preparation as well as communication skills.
4. I remained calm & confident throughout. In my limited understanding what I feel is that there can be questions which one might not know, but taking every question as a fresh opportunity and not letting the baggage of previous questions affect your performance, is what matters. So stay calm, confident and polite. All of us have earned our seats here, so have self belief, confidence and also humility!
Panel mocks - Chahal, Samkalp, Vajirao, Nextias
O2O - Satyam sir (very extensive DAF coverage & detailed feedback)
Sajal sir (Sarrthi ias) - again very detailed & beneficial
All the best everyone ✨
