Hello Everyone, Taking a small session regarding interview preparation on Zoom live

Lets keep learning from the comments and ideas of others as well. Communal learning helps in a very good way. Will keep posting good debatable topics here so that you can have an informed debate and learn from each other’s ideas and perspectives. Just be civil, mature, and respectful.

Hello Everyone, Lets discuss a prevalent situation. The Punjab Police, District Administration, and Indian Army are conducting joint drills to bring down a protestor who had been siting atop a 400 feet BSNL tower for the last 560 days. If you are posted as an SDM there, what steps will you take for safe evacuation of such an individual? Be logical and innovative in your approach

Hello Everyone, We are launching this course for Punjab PCS Interview Personality Assessment and Guidance.

Hello Everyone, The most important question in any civil services interview is ‘Why Civil Services?’ The response to this question must be based on these factors: 1. What are your internal motivations to become a civil servant? 2. It should not be a learned answer, but must feel original and authentic. 3. It should be derived from your understanding of what civil servants actually do, and what civil services entail. 4. It should reflect clarity in your approach and understanding towards civil services. 5. Try to add some hooks in this answer, so that the interviewer can ask you further questions on it. This way, you can give direction to your interview. 6. Brevity will be of essence here. Make sure your response doesn’t exceed 90 seconds. Thank You.!

Hii. If, in this free time, you want to understand the medieval history of Punjab and its evolution as an independent state, you can also read Punjab by Rajmohan Gandhi.

One of you has also recommended reading Tuesdays with Morrie. It is a small read, but helps soothe nerves and will definitely relax you in stressful situations.
