I wasn't able to satisfy the demands with respect to practical issues, a point that was raised twice during the interview. Not unnecessary grilling if a person could answer these questions he/she would definitely make a really good addition to services. Mocks- focussed majorly on daf, and I felt the interview was of a whole another level- they knew what they knew what they were looking for. 1️⃣ @Video_upsc 2️⃣ @UPSCINTERVIEWSCRIPT
