The degree of confidence and calmness displayed by an applicant before the interview board is crucial to the interview's success. This will demonstrate the candidate's self-discipline and control of the interview. The applicant will develop the necessary confidence and calm if they have done a comprehensive preparation on all of the current affairs issues, optional courses, college-level study subjects, and the information provided in the DAF. The aforementioned traits will be further improved with enough mock interview sessions.
Determine the themes on numerous relevant issues and thoroughly prepare them. A thorough reading of The Hindu and The Indian Express, as well as Rajya Sabha TV shows like Big Picture, India's World, and World Panorama, can provide a candidate with the analytical and critical thinking skills they need to answer questions with confidence.
Good manners (i.e., socially and culturally acceptable behaviour), a strong value system, and a balanced personality (i.e., rounded personality) where the candidate is able to demonstrate honesty, integrity, fairness, empathy, sensitivity towards the problems of depressed sections of the population, sincerity, commitment, willingness to assume responsibility, etc. are some of the parameters that can help a candidate develop his or her personality for the IAS interview. Making sure that your responses to the interview board's questions reflect the aforementioned personality attributes will leave the board members with a positive image of you.
IAS interviews are handled with courtesy and friendliness. The candidate is made to feel at ease by the Board, who also invites him to participate in the interview. The applicant is expected to conduct himself courteously, respectfully, and formally during this focused and formal dialogue with the Members. The interview panel members do not have a list of questions they will use to assess the applicants. A candidate is gently engaged in conversation, and the interview is developed depending on the candidate's responses. It is not a quiz show. It is quite challenging to anticipate inquiries and choose the so-called "best" ones. In actuality, the interviewer is led by the candidate's responses.
If a candidate is unable to respond to a few questions, it is irrelevant. Actually, very few candidates are able to adequately respond to all the questions. Remind yourself that you haven't ruined your interview if you were unable to respond to some queries. Continue answering the questions that follow. The calibre, originality, and clarity of the responses to the other questions are what matter most. There have been cases where candidates received two-thirds of the marks after answering just one-third of the questions. However, it is wiser to kindly and respectfully admit that you are unable to answer a question if you are completely stumped.
To do well in the interview, "exceptional" communication skills are not required. With "average" communication skills, in-depth topic knowledge, clarity of thinking, a clear view on a variety of contentious problems, balance of mind, alertness of mind, and a balanced personality, it is possible to get a score of 70 percent or above. Keep in mind that this is a personality test, not a fight club.
