Your experience in interview-
No hi hello or questions on personal info,

Nagaraj ma'am
- why do you think about freebies
-Should they be discontinued, or modified in any manner
-Farmers and electricity
- do freebies encourage individuals to not work, remain dependent on govt
-

Why India's infra growth is shabby when compared to that of china.
#5
Just asked about comparison between the response of indian and Canadian govt to protests in respective countries
Reasons behind why Canada is considered liberal and India is considered authoritarian
Were the measures used by Canada authoritarian or democratic ( follow up )

Experience- no hi hello no chit chat no questions related to daf( apart from grad subj- civil Engineering)
I felt the questions were really good, especially the ones related to infra and civil engineering. I wasn't able to satisfy the demands with respect to practical issues, a point that was raised twice during the interview. Not unnecessary grilling if a person could answer these questions he/she would definitely make a really good addition to services.

Mocks- focussed majorly on daf, and I felt the interview was of a whole another level- they knew what they knew what they were looking for.

Member 1: (lady)
(Gave a long monologue abt tribals in India)
1. Took cue from poverty definition and asked about exclusion and inclusion w.r.t. scheduled tribes.
2. Tribals should be left untouched as this would prevent there culture from external influence. Asked my views on this?

(NOTE: the chairman joted down sth in a diary .. i believe marks were alloted at this moment itself)

Member 2: (was constantly staring at my hand and shoes the whole time.. .probably a psychologist... 😀)
1. Asked about economic effect of Ukraine-Russia war on India?

(Looked dissatisfied with my answers)

Member 4:

2. Why should we not go for FTA with other nations as well as this would reduce custom duty and eliminate tarriff barriers altogether?
3. some counter questions? (I Handled these effectively using facts)

Chairman: Interview is over
...... ....
...... ....

^^^My Experience and observations^^^: Surprised as NO question asked on Hobbies, Home state, IPS as first choice ...
Overall board was cordial and chairman tried to make the atmosphere peaceful initially.
My observation is that the DAF was not read properly (or at all) because as soon as the previous candidate left I was called in (within seconds) ... asked about where i work.. and questions started from there and revolved around job and then basic optional knowledge(sociology)

Main observation: "A lot of Supplementary Questions were asked based on the answers i gave"
