-Have u seen any patient getting benefit of PM-JAY?
M2:-
-So Dr…u criticised lot the education system, but same system produced good people who lead MNCs and not the people who have studied had so called IB board schools who promote creativity and all. Why so?
(I humbly denied abt criticising whole education system. I reminded of criticism to coaching and pointed out to Resilience among studnts who face hardships and also to educational excellence of Public funded Higher Education institutions (IIT, IIM, AIIMS, JNU)
-Yes Adverisities bring best out of people.

Mocks- i gave nearly all mocks (16-18) available in the market! As i was immune to getting low confidence after critical feedback. i was using to gradually refine myself.

DAF based guidance from Mahesh Bhagwat (IPS) sir, Dr Prasanna (IPS) Sir and SOMP Mentor(Utkarsh sir) helped to define boundaries of preparation without getting panicked/anxious.

Maharashtra
BA and MA History

NSS
No questions from hobbies and interests.
I asked permission to enter. Wished them with namaste. Soni sir with folding hands wished me namaste. I also did the same again.
Told me to remove my mask to verify with the photo. When I was putting my mask in my pocket then he said you can keep the mask if you are comfortable. (By that time i had kept it in pocket.) I said I am more comfortable without mask. (Observed that the lady member smiled)
Chairman -
(Pronounced my name. Asked whether he pronounced it correctly.)
1. You are student of History. Why history? Did you have interest in it?
2. Why you chose science in 11 - 12 ?
So we can say that you did your graduation because you wanted to prepare for civil services and not because of your interest in history.

Your experience in interview:
Was nervous at the beginning but the panel was really supportive and made me comfortable. Felt like a regular conversation with elders in the family.
Utility of mocks or O2O (if any):
Prepared me for the worst. Mock grilling helped me in keeping my composure during difficult questions and whenever i felt cornered.
Questions in the real interview were very different from what i was used to in mock interviews. My only take is expect the unexpected and always be ready for surprises.
