[Official ] Interview Preparation 2021 - Ask Questions, Debates and Doubts, Hobbies, Home State
LIVE Session onStrategic Mistakes and Handling Tricky Questions
LIVE Session for filling up DAF 2 | CSE 2020
Hello All,
So the last time I create a TG for Interview prep we saw some good discussions. However, the group has little archival value, by which I means discussions that happen are not archived on the Internet forever - which is something we need for Civils prep - or at least for the community.
This thread is created by ME circa 2021 to be "The Interview Group"
I am also working on a guide for Interview Preparation - which is kinda here
And a very interesting hobby discussion thread here

@Neyawn How is "watching TV series" as a hobby? It's a genuine hobby but how good does that look on DAF?
@Valar_morghulis I thought it's a test of personality not knowledge. Hahahaha.Aapke sath bohot bura hua
It is as much a test of personality as Prelims current affairs questions are of a level such that a candidate who is generally aware of current events should be able to answer it. This is as per the Notification :P

People have put that. It’s okay to write it. Prepare OTT players and associated debates well.

tarunkrsingh,
@Neyawn I have been running telegram and youtube channel and putting some relevant article on social issues on these channel as a part of my hobby
How should I frame my hobby ? I was thinking of writing "generating awareness through social media" should I write any other word?

You may put it if you are comfortable. One moderator here ( a very popular one, in fact the most popular one ) had put his hobby as “motivating people , making them aware” etc. that was 2018. He was asked even by Ravindran Sir or Vajiram ( vaji fan boy ) to not have something like this. He had a TG too. I don’t think he scored very well that year. In 2019 attempt he didn’t have these things as far as I can recall. Got a rank of under 110.
no correlation. Just sharing how people refine hobbies in DAF.

@Neyawn rank is the combination of mains marks as well. Without knowing the mains marks we can not say that his interview might have gone wrong or something plus what was the contribution of that particular hobby on his interview score we also do not know. The possibility can be that he was not able to justify something or any other area can also be the reason like a branch, optional, home state
Agreed.

@Neyawn can "interacting with people" b an hobby?how to streamline the wrds further?Ny counter ques?wht abt ques frm village cleanliness camps,cllg fest coordinator and elocution?
A good way to find out would be to consult parents. Since they are usually of the same age , the views are likely to resonate to some extent .

@Neyawn I dont have any special hobbies as such.
I like watching and playing cricket and watching tennis(can tell about them.Will prepare court dimensions,indian players etc.)So what do I do here?
My 2nd doubt is I m from decent ug college,had highest marks there.immediately Post that I did mba from 1 of the old iim.Then jumped in upsc prep since may 2018.
Did badly in 2019 attempt.
How do I justify my gap of 2.5 years despite passing from good ug and pg college.
Wouldnt they tell u r wasting national talent by preparing without job,wasted someones seat etc.Gap could have been justified if I cleared in 2019 as 1 year prep would have looked decent.How do I justify this?I can get a fake work ex certificate(I have knowledge about it for the period from feb 2020 till now).But is it advisable?If not how to justify this gap?
If u have some example of people ffom good colleges taking more than 1 full fledged attempt to clear upsc ,please share.
I feel like a burden on myself having rejected a 6 figure salary post mba,lurking in darkness since 2.5 years plus the lack of confidence after failing failed to clear in 2019 in killing me as I have never failed in an exam before
These days I cry my eyes out and tears dry whenever i think pf my current situation)
Please shed some light...
Please a humble request.I feel lost out how to go about in this period.Should i prepare for interview,practise ans writing,look for job or give other exams like bank po(whenever i think of filling such exams i fall further in my eyes as I have always been a brilliant student and going in a bank job after iim is further killing me)
Sankoza,Please help, help
Preparing far away from delhi with noone to interact to about prep has taken its toll
Somebody help.
