UPSC Interview By Prabhasa Bhoi

Name: Prabhasa Bhoi
State:  Orissa
Work:  NTPC as Sr. Engineer
Sports: Played cricket during school and college days
Hobby: Collecting Indian Coins, swimming

I was on Mr. K K Paul's board. I was the fist candidate to be interviewed on that day. I was bit nervous to be interviewed first. Anyway I managed to keep my cool. By 10.30, my interview was started and it lasted for 40 minutes. I could not impress the Chairman but somehow tackled the questions from other Board Members. I am not sure how much will I be getting in the interview.

First of all Mr Paul asked me about my Name, Roll No. and Date of birth. Then, as on the previous day World cup semi-final was played he inquired whether I had watched the match. I replied Yes but not fully.

Chairman: What was the turning point of the match?
Me: Tendulkar was dropped 4 times and almost all Indian bowlers picked up wickets.

(He was not convinced)

Chairman: Who was the captain of Indian on the first ever match played between India and Pakistan?
Me: No idea sir.

Chairman: Who was the captain of Pakistan on the first ever match played between India and Pakistan?
Me: No idea sir.

(Then the Chairman gave the answer and asked whether I know them. I nodded negatively.)

Chairman: Why the rainbow is always curved?
Me: Rainbows are formed by refraction of light from rain drops. Rain drops are spherical in shape and different colours have different wavelengths which are refracted differently and gave rise to curved shape.

(He was not convinced)

Chairman: Have u heard of Irom Sharmila?
Me: Yes sir. She is a social activist fighting for repeal of AFSPA (Armed forces special power act) from NE areas of our country.

Chairman: What is the specialty about her?
Me: She is on a continuous fast since last one decade to fight for this great cause.

Chairman: What is AFSPA?
Me: This act empowers armed forces with special powers such as to detain anybody without trial for indefinite period in certain disturbed areas to maintain peace and security of the region.

Chairman: What is the specific clause, she wants to repeal?
Me: Sorry sir, I don’t remember.

Hitesh Joysar has done his parents proud. Son of a farmer, he has topped the list of those who have cleared the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) exams from Gujarat. The results were announced on Wednesday. At the national level, he stood 116th.

Joysar hails from a farmer's family in Nundhatad village in Kutch district. It was his 4th and final attempt. He is first in his family who will serve the government. "I'm reasonably satisfied with this result, though I expected a much higher rank. Since this was my last attempt, I will have to accept this outcome," Joysar told DNA. He said he could study for around 7-8 hours daily. "I was a probationary officer in a bank. And during exams, I took leave and studied for 12 hours a day," added Joysar.

"In her first attempt, this 24-year old law graduate from the School of Excellence in Law, Chennai couldn't clear the UPSC Civil Services Preliminary but in her second attempt, she emerged the first ranker! Daughter of V Shanmugam, a customs consultant and homemaker S. Padmavathy, Divyadharshini was working at SBI for the past six months. She shares her journey. "

Q.How did you hear the good news?
A. I was in office when the results were declared, and a friend informed me of the results. It came as a shock! At first I did not believe but it but confirmed it through my brother. It took a while to realise that it was not a dream.

Q.Who is the inspiration behind your success?
A. My mentor Prabhakaran sir (Director of Prabhas IAS Academy) and my parents. All have given me ample confidence, motivation and have placed belief in me.

Q.How different was it in the second attempt? What made you crack it?
A. I think one year’s consistent preparation made the difference between the two attempts.
