बोर्ड का व्यवहार काफी सौहार्द्रपूर्ण था और पूरी प्रक्रिया सहज रही। यह एक शानदार और अविस्मरणीय अनुभव रहा।

मॉक की उपयोगिता - संकल्प, दृष्टि, KSG में दिए मॉक आंसर को अच्छे से स्ट्रक्चर करने, confidence building और तैयारी में कुछ gaps को fill करने में उपयोगी रहे। परंतु वास्तविक इन्टरव्यू मॉक से अलग रहा।

Optional: PSIR
Home State: TN
Work Experience: ICMR, EPFO (No Questions)
Graduation: Chemical Engineering.
Board: RN Choubey sir

After greeting chairperson and other formalities, Choubey sir (as usual) mentioned that this is just a conversation, they are not scary people and asked repeatedly if I was comfortable. Thanked him and said I was.

Chairperson:
1. Tell us about your academic record and work experience. (Some confusion here as I had only recently joined EPFO and it was not mentioned in my DAF. He was satisfied after I clarified it to him).
2. Long monologue about interstate riverwater linking. Asked whether jurisdiction over interstate rivers should be handed over to centre.
M1. (Female)
1. Can you tell me the difference between GST and VAT?

Chairperson: Okay, your interview is over now. You can ask us anything.

Utility of mocks - I felt NextIAS was closer to the mark with respect to Choubey board. Vajirao was also somewhat similar in terms of current affairs asked. Overall, with this board prepare current affairs carefully as well as jump at any opportunity to show values and personality.

One on One with Republic IAS (Chennai - based institute) - found it very useful for tackling questions related to hobby especially choice based questions. Found it very good for building up confidence to tackle value based questions + to project one's personality in GS based questions. Would recommend to anyone in Chennai and outside as well
