(1/2) INTERVIEW TRANSCRIPT Interview Date – 30 Jan 2025 Board – Shri Sheel Vardhan Singh Forenoon session, 2nd to go. Nearly 45min. DAF Keywords – Chemical Engineering, Research Internship, Indian Hip Hop Music, Karate, Perspective-taking visualization, Cargill Global Scholars Program, Sociology. Chairman 1. Reads the DAF – You are {Name}, come from {place}. I see that you have mentioned that you follow Indian Hip Hop music, what is it? 2. From your answer, I see it is more like fusion music rather than a distinct genre of music. 3. What is the origin of Hip Hop music? a. Rooted in protest movement of Afro-Americans during 70s in USA. 4. (Building upon my answer) So Hip hop music has this protest element, but Indian Hip hop music lacks this, so how is IHH a category of music? a. Gave some examples of tracks that have this element of protest. 5. What you’re telling is rap music like Tupac Shakur in the west coast etc., is rap same as hip hop? 6. What do you know about Hindustani music and Carnatic music? 7. (Interrupts my answer) What is the textual source from which they are derived? a. I said sorry sir I’m not aware. Sir said - you know so much about hip hop and western music, you should be aware about our own music as well. 8. Our discussion on fusion reminds me of a new genre that is gaining a lot of popularity – Historical fiction. What is your opinion on it? 9. So according to you it is rooted in history but is essentially fiction? 10. But I think it is distorting history. When people like Amish write about the people of Meluha, most readers don’t distinguish history from fiction. a. Helps in creating awareness. b. Leads to curiosity about history, people can read more about true history based on their interest. 11. As per this logic, if there is crime in society, it would create awareness about it amongst people. So, crime is also good for society? a. Answered as per normal and pathological social facts of Durkheim and impact on collective conscience. 12. So, you have used the Collectivism theory from sociology. What good is this shock to collective conscience? We have seen that in past there have been incidents that have created ripples in society, but the situation remains same and nothing has changed. a. I began answering that it depends on the type of crime and the severity. b. (Interrupted in between) I’ll narrow it down for you, let’s talk about crime against women. 13. I see in your DAF that you’ve accomplished a lot in research domain. You did {read out the details and achievements}. It seems you were on course to do your PhD, become a professor, do brilliant research and bring in a Nobel Prize for our nation (says this playfully). Why this sudden 180-degree switch to Civil Services? Member-1 1. What belt are you in Karate? 2. Which style of Karate do you practice? a. Shito Ryu 3. Is it related to Shoto-kan? What is the difference between both? 4. After learning Karate, do you feel like beating people around? Or getting into fights? 5. So did you not get the opportunity to get into fights or you don’t like it? (with a slight laugh) 6. Assume that you get into a fight with a random person on the street. He won’t follow the rules that you are taught in Karate like hit above the belt etc. So how would you fight with him? a. I mentioned that we are aware of basics of street fighting if someone uses sticks etc. Chairman sir adds that if the person has a gun, then the entire situation changes. b. After my answer member says I thought that like my students in exam you would say that this is out of syllabus (starts laughing). He said that I asked these questions to ease you into the interview, now let’s get to serious questions. 7. You have done Chemical Engineering? There is another discipline called Chemical Technology for graduation. What is the difference between both? 8. (Probably was not completely satisfied with my previous answer) Can you think of what is the relation between Engineering and Technology?

Discussed variety of question and it will help you. - Rahul Sir (ias pcs pathshala) - Highly Recommended. Very much beneficial for structuring and concluding the answer. Sir value addition part was extremely enriching. - Dharmadhikari Sir - Recommended. Very helpful in confidence boosting. In a real interview, questions from mock sessions and onetoone discussions will not get repeated but the approach you develop will help you answer random questions. (However I got a bit lucky as 3 questions I had discussed with Rahul Sir were repeated - caste census wala, Bihar- Jharkhand, and sports section wala🙂) I believe you should try to articulate your answers in an engaging manner. Avoid giving just 1-2 line responses. Show enthusiasm and eagerness in every answer. Try to cover multiple perspectives using succinct keywords. Lastly all the best to everyone and thanking this channel for providing transcript. It was very much helpful 🙏
