I was the last candidate to be interviewed by the board in that day`s morning session. My board consisted of Board Prez Ms Rajni Razdan (RR),one female member(M1) and three male (M2,M3,M4) members.

The board was very cordial and cool. It took them 25 to 30 minute to interview me. But it seems as if its 5 minutes JJ

A UPSC official guided me to the interview room. I sat down near the door in a wooden bench while the official told me Sir please sit in the cushioned chair J The bell rang at 12:09 hr. The official guided me to go

inside. I stood near the threshold of the room and …
