Understanding the UPSC Interview

The UPSC interview evaluates a candidate’s holistic personality, encompassing analytical acumen, lateral thinking, and sound decision-making abilities. The panel, composed of seasoned and impartial assessors, scrutinizes the candidate’s aptitude for a career in public service. It scrutinizes not just intellectual prowess, but also social traits, current affairs engagement, mental agility, critical thinking, and eloquent expression. Furthermore, it appraises judgment, diverse interests, social cohesion, leadership potential, and most importantly, intellectual and moral integrity.

Program Highlights

Duration: The interview spans approximately 30 minutes, with a 5-minute flexibility window to ensure a comprehensive evaluation.

Question Spectrum: The panel presents a diverse array of queries, ranging from exploring the candidate’s hobbies to probing their motivations for pursuing civil services.
