Start your interview preparation from January The first tip is to start preparing from the beginning of the year. You will have at least 3 months to prepare. But I recommend to start preparing from one 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. Council members will notice manners and decide whether you will be suitable or not. So take mannerism seriously. Remember what you wrote in your main exam. You will come for the interview only after passing the main written exam. So, while you are giving an interview, you will be asked what you did in your main job. So remember and review what you did there. Have positive opinions in your mind Go into the interview with a positive mindset. Usually it happens that negative thoughts start to come to your mind. Above all, who gives an interview for the first time? So be positive and think carefully. Have a good command of your language skills. The support used for the interview does not matter. Whether in Hindi or English. It really doesn't matter. What matters is mastery of the language in question. It takes more courage to listen than to speak. You must listen to the person being interviewed before answering anything. It's good to listen completely and then respond instead by interrupting them when they're speaking. Speak from your heart and don't lie to yourself If you are asked difficult questions or questions you would not like to answer, don't lie. Never create a false story to boost yourself, just tell them honestly that 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 very basic interview tip for a civil service interview. Don't look down or away and respond. If so, they might think you're insecure. For a serious question, give a serious answer, although you should smile and respond with a laugh. But if you're asked a serious question, your answer should be serious too. You need to show them that you care about what they are asking. Prepare what you are going to say for the Hobby section. This is again a very obvious question that you will be asked in a civil service interview and is about your hobby. You should answer this question lightly. Board members should have the opportunity to laugh at some point. So make this answer entertaining and unique. Take your additional subjects seriously The additional subjects you choose for the civil services exams should be taken seriously. Normally, it is seen that candidates tend to neglect their additional subject. So when they are asked questions, they are not prepared. Therefore, do not neglect your additional topics as they might pose difficult questions. Your opinions should be unbiased and fair In an interview, when you ask questions that are very political in nature, you should present a fair and balanced opinion. You should not be biased on any particular subject or topic. They should feel that your approach is very balanced. Stay up to date with current affairs and other latest developments You will be asked many questions about current affairs and the state of the country. So continue to stay up to date with what's happening in the world. You need to know what's going on..
