UPSC Interview By Abhishek Yadav [AIR - 428] (Dr. K.K. Paul Board)

Interview

Board - K.K. Paul
Number - 2nd to go in

The Board was very cordial, and contrary to what I have read or heard about KK Paul, I found him to be a nice guy. No grilling, but yes, no smiling either. As you would see below, I found that quite a lot of it, stemmed from my bio-data and very few were absolutely un-related to me personally in some way. Of the four members, two were male and two females.

'Answer Writing Skills for JKPSC Mains Exam' by Shoaib Noor (JKPSC)

"You can have Brilliant ideas, but if you can't get them
across, your ideas won't get you anywhere."

With a huge weightage in the total tally of the marks i.e. 1950 Marks out of 2200 marks, Mains stage is the most crucial stage of the entire JKPSC exam. A Good Mains score guarantees you a place in the Interview and a good performance in interview helps you in getting the top slots. Unlike Preliminary examination, The Mains exam consists of descriptive type of questions. It focuses on testing the candidate for his overall intellectual traits and depth of understanding. Most of the Students who appear in JKPSC Mains exam are well versed in their subject and yet it is seen that they do not score well in their Mains Examination. What can be the Probable Reason? Faulty writing skill is one of the main reasons for their failure. Either they are not able to put their ideas across to the examiner or they are not able to comprehend what the examiner is demanding from them via his
questions. Writing skill is based on your knowledge base and conceptual understanding and comes through practice only. Having a Good Knowledge base gives flow and lucidity to your answers. Having a conceptual understanding will make your answer well organized and well integrated. Practice moulds and sharpens this skill. Just reading this article and not practicing answer writing vigorously at home will lead you to nothing, as in the same way like reading a good manual on swimming will not make you a good swimmer unless and until you are willing to practice in the waters. Thus, writing skill and content both should complement and supplement each other.

The Relation between a student and examiner vis-a- vis answer writing can be best understood with the analogy between that of a Host (Student) and a Guest (Examiner). You have to serve your guest with the best possible 'ordered' dish in a proper time. Your Dish should have the proper Ingredients (Content) and you should follow the Recipe (proper answer writing Guidelines). Starter (Introduction) should give him an idea of what is coming, the Main course (Body of the answer) should be served in a chronological and proper way. You have to serve the examiner with what he has demanded and not what you have in your Kitchen (Brain). Just imagine what will happen if you switch the dishes. The Dessert (Conclusion) should leave him with better memories of the answer.

Here are some important tips for Answer writing:
