So, here are few tips which candidates must focus
on while preparing for their IAS interview.

to tell about yourself and the crucial thing is
that most of the time we don't know ourselves
properly.
8
It is quite important to know the different
aspects of your personality that are hidden and
unknown even to you.

Any of your personality traits that do not suit
the IAS position should be avoided from becoming
a weak point in the interview round.
10
Read your bio-data thoroughly
11
Most of the questions in UPSC interview are
based on the information given by the candidate
in his/her Detailed Application Form (DAF).
12
When asked personal questions, the answers
should be precise and to the point without any
ambiguities, as compared to the information in
your DAF.
13

the questions. Try not to be too casual with
serious questions.
14
Cultivate a positive body language
15

personal appearance, and body language, as you
are even going to be judged on the basis of this
in the interview.

During the interview, keep yourself calm,
maintain proper eye contact and listen to the
panel members very patiently.
17
And while giving the answers, reinforce your
spoken words through your body language and avoid
gestures which do not suit the occasion.
18
Be prepared for every topic
19
The candidates must be prepared to give answers
to any questions from their academic, interests
and hobbies mentioned in their bio-data.

The interviewer may ask questions from your
optional subjects. So, you should be acquainted
with the recent happenings related to the
optional subject.
21
Learn to give balanced and impartial answers and
try to take a stand without any political or
social biases to avoid justification for the
same.
22
Keep a high confidence level
23
The first impression matters and dressed up as a
professional looks neat and makes you more
confident.

The questions may come from any topic and you may
not know an answer, then don't panic and calmly
admit that you do not have any idea on that topic

Because the interview panel not only measures
your intellectual qualities, but also take a
sound note of your moral integrity.
26

have already cleared the prelims and the mains
exam, the interview round should not be much
difficult.
28
All you have to do is to express yourself
clearly, exhibit different traits of your
personality, show mental alertness and be logical
while delivering the answers to impress the panel.
