Frequently Asked Questions About UPSC Interview

What is the purpose of the UPSC interview?

The UPSC interview, also known as the personality test, is the final stage of the selection process for the Indian Administrative Service (IAS) and other top government positions. The purpose of the interview is to assess the personal qualities, intelligence, and suitability of the candidate for a career in public service.

What is the structure of the UPSC interview?

The UPSC interview is typically conducted by a panel of 3-5 members who are experts in the relevant field. The panel will ask the candidate a series of questions on a variety of topics, including their academic background, work experience, interests, and views on current affairs and social issues. The interview usually lasts for about 30-45 minutes.

What are the common questions asked in the UPSC interview?

Some common questions that may be asked in the UPSC interview include:

  • Tell us about yourself
  • Why do you want to join the IAS?
  • What are your strengths and weaknesses?
  • What are your views on current national and international issues?
  • How do you see yourself contributing to society as an IAS officer?
  • What do you know about the role and responsibilities of an IAS officer?
How should I prepare for the UPSC interview?
Some tips for preparing for the UPSC interview include:
  • Familiarize yourself with the UPSC interview process and the types of questions that are typically asked
  • Practice answering questions out loud to improve your confidence and communication skills
  • Research the role and responsibilities of an IAS officer and think about how you can contribute to society in this role
  • Stay up-to-date with current national and international affairs
  • Reflect on your strengths and weaknesses and be prepared to discuss them in the interview
  • Seek feedback from friends, family, or a mentor to help you identify areas of improvement.
Is the UPSC interview the final stage of the selection process?

Yes, the UPSC interview is the final stage of the selection process for the IAS and other top government positions. The candidates who pass the interview will be recommended for appointment to the IAS or other positions based on their overall performance in the UPSC examination.

What is Detailed Application Form / DAF?

Detailed Application Form provides preliminary information about you to the board. You must own everything you write down as your description. That is why half or more of the interviews are related to DAF. Your DAF provides the interview board with clues about the questions that are relevant to you. The interview board initiates the interview with your DAF to give you time to normalize to the interview. 

You cannot ignore your DAF. 

The reason is simple: the first impression is the best impression that one should make. Some even say the first impression is the last impression. Nobody wants to miss out on making a great opening impression as that can often be the decisive factor in determining whether there will be a second meeting or not! 

It requires a lot of time to collect information about the details you have filled. Candidates should be fully aware of each and every word that is mentioned. 

How to fill DAF

The Detailed Application Form (DAF) is an important part of the selection process for the Indian Administrative Service (IAS) and other top government positions in India. The DAF is a comprehensive form that requires candidates to provide detailed information about their education, work experience, and personal details.

Here are the steps to fill out the DAF:

  1. Visit the UPSC website and log in to your account using your registration number and password.

  2. Click on the link for the DAF and download the form.

  3. Fill out the form carefully, providing accurate and complete information about your education, work experience, and personal details.

  4. Make sure to double-check the form for any errors or omissions.

  5. Upload the form along with any required documents, such as proof of age, educational qualifications, and nationality.

  6. Submit the form and documents online.

It is important to fill out the DAF accurately and completely, as any discrepancies or incomplete information may result in your application being rejected. Make sure to allow enough time to complete the form and gather any required documents before the deadline.
