Hello Future Officers!!
Congratulations for writing the toughest exam of this country -UPSC CSE! The fatigue and lethargy post-CSM must have been vanished by now. All cblackit to your mental rectitude and physical endurance towards realising your dreams. You have written almost 30000 words in your Nine papers! Kudos to the spirit which propelled you to the exam centres (amidst challenges of Corona pandemic, Lockdown, Physical Distancing etc). CSE 2020 will be remembeblack for all reasons and people who will clear this exam shall cherish the good or bad memories forever.
The last hurdle of this exam is the Personality Test /Interview carrying 275 marks ,highest of any paper (in Mains- 250 Marks per paper).PT is a matter of Make or Break because some students make it to the list with a decent score in mains and scoring very good marks in PT while a few deserving are left out of ‘R’ list despite of commendable score in written papers but poor show in PT . Please have a look on Written and PT scores attained by the recommended candidates of CSE 18/19 and their AIR. This highlights the Saying-Marks of PT decides the cadre and Services.
If you perform un-satisfactory in PT and do not find a place in the holy pdf, you are hard pressed for the upcoming Pre Exam with less time available making your competition tougher.
PT is the platform to assess your final candidature for All India Services and other services and this is the First time when you are coming face to face with the reps of UPSC at Dholpur House. The Panel weighs your communication and conduct held in that room which is preview to you and only to you.
I have always said that preparation for PT should be taken with serious note and with a proper strategy similar to GS 1-2-3-4 OR Optional Subject. My view was reinforced when I had interacted with almost 120 candidates last year during our INTERVIEW MANAGEMENET PROGRAM. Some candidates were really smart to know what was Needed and did sail through, But many candidates were anxious and they could not perform up to the mark. End Result-many will visit Dholpur House this year again.
My observation is that the PT is a game of displaying Personality rather than rot learning and verbal diarrhoea , of Expression rather than Being Shy , of Smartness rather than being too outdated/demoralised/disinterested and finally about Managing the Theatre .Your marks are directly proportionate to your abilities to handle stress and putting up justifiable arguments . The Board should see, in you, a dynamic ,well balanced ,rational decision maker and emotionally Intelligent officer-in making.Right Approach ahead!
