Start interview preparation from January onwards The first tip is to start preparing from the beginning of the year. You will have at least 3 months to prepare. But I advise you to start preparing from a year onwards so that you have enough time. Respect the members who will be taking your interview Once you enter the interview room, give due respect to the members who will be taking your interview. The board members will notice the mannerism and decide whether you will be a good fit or not. So take mannerism seriously. Don't forget what you wrote during the specialization exam. You will come for the interview only after successfully passing the written mains exam. So while giving the interview you will be asked what you have done in your network. Then remember and review what you did there. Have positive opinions in your mind Go into the interview with a positive mindset. Usually, what happens is that negative thoughts start coming to your mind. Above all, who is giving interviews for the first time? So be positive and think well. Have adequate control over your language skills It doesn't matter what the medium of the interview is. Be it Hindi or English. It doesn't really matter. What matters is the mastery of the language in question. It takes more courage to listen than to speak. You need to listen to the interviewee before answering anything. It is good to listen completely and then respond rather by interrupting when they are speaking. Speak from your heart and don't lie to yourself If you are asked difficult questions or questions you don't want to answer, don't tell a lie. Never create a false story to promote yourself, just tell them the truth, it doesn't really matter. Show confidence. Talk to them, not at them. You should always look them in the eye and then speak. This is a basic tip for a civil service interview. Don't look down or away and respond. If you do, they may think you don't have confidence in yourself. For a serious question, give a serious answer. Although you should smile and give answers while laughing. But if you are asked a serious question, your answer should also be serious. You have to show them that you care about what they ask of you. Prepare what you will say for the Hobbies section This is also a very obvious question that you will be asked in a civil service interview regarding your hobby. You should answer this question in a light mood. Board members need to have a chance to laugh at some point. So make this answer fun and unique. Take your additional subjects seriously The additional subjects you choose for the civil service exams must be taken seriously. Normally, it is seen that candidates tend to neglect the additional subject. So when they are asked questions, they are not prepared. Therefore, do not neglect the additional topics because they may ask some difficult questions. Your opinions must be unbiased and fair In an interview, when you have asked some questions of a very political nature, you must present a fair and balanced opinion. You don't have to be biased about a particular issue or topic. They need to feel like your approach is very balanced. Stay in touch with current affairs and other latest developments You will be asked many questions about current affairs and the state of the country. So keep updating yourself with the things happening in the world. You need to know what is happening in the country and in the world. Thorough knowledge of the state, city and district you are from You will be asked questions about the state, city and district you are from. So gather some knowledge about your state, city and district. They would like to know how much you care about the country. Good general knowledge Very important General knowledge is always the key to.
