Interview 2021 - Official Discussion Thread

Does anyone else felt that their interview was too factual, specially BB Vyas Board??

My 60 to 70 pc interview was factual 

Although none of the facts were irrelevant but still too much fact orientation. 

Board was cordial barring

1.few deliberate negative tinge

2.laughing on one of my wrong answer.

3.poker face of members 


Is BB Vyas board too strict in giving marks?

Any idea?

@necromancer I dont know what marks will be allotted but there is widespread discrepancy of approach between the boards. 
Smita Nagraj So much opinion based
BB Vyas So much factual 
Extreme spectrum 

I always feel that factual questions ,even of your domain, are difficult to answer than normal  opinion based questions .It needs greater caution, knowledge component and its relatively difficult to be poised in such cases.

8@necromancer Everyone has different experience but after reading many transcripts i do observe there is a difference between approach of boards specially Vyas Sir and others. 
BB Vyas board has its own style. 
The good thing with facts is that if u know it, its great and adds to confidence. 

However, most of the facts asked to me were too deep.I prepared my subjects well and thats why was able to answer most of them but still my interview felt weird and unidimensional.
