[ACIO] Result for ACIO 2013 exam declared, More than 3000 selected, call letters uploaded, interviews start from 13th January, What to prepare for interview

I had my interview on 13 jan 2014.
venue: HYDERABAD

Details of the interview below:

Asked permission to enter room and waited for their permission to sit. they offered me seat.
Total 3 members in the panel (all male- M1, M2, M3)

M1 (Senior most) – tell me how do you increase rural employment (my topic in essay) ?
me: answered

Asked m2 to ask the question

M2 (in his 30s) – what is condition of naxalism in india and in andhra ?
answered (other two guys are busy in their work not looking at me)

why do you think they indulge in naxalism
answered (one of them looked at me for a while)

did you hear about recent chinese incursions ? why are they doing it ?
answered ( couldn’t make out if they are satisfied or not .. no change in face expression)

what are other methods they are adopting to do the same ?
me : told economic reasons and all ..

what about northeast region ?
me : told somethg about chinese trying to make their presence in arunachal pradesh (not sure about if i am right)

what is cross border incursion and terrorism ?
me : told incursion

ok that is incursion. what is specific name for cross border terrorism ?
me : dono wat he was refering to . i said i dont know

tell me about situation in northeastern region .. are there any clashes in northeast region ?
me: told about nagaland & manipur and their ethnic clashes and demands for separate state (he asked me seperate state or country). i said separate country.

did you hear about rohingya ?
me: yes sir. but ihave little idea about it. it is clashes between buddhist and muslim in bangladesh (it should me myanmar)

while m2 was asking questions sometimes my hands were raised and m3 was observing it. i quickly restored it to original place.

m2 asked m3(in 40s) to take forward

m3: what is happening in assembly in last 15 days ?
me: sir is it ap state assembly ? he said yes.
me: explained few things and he asked some subsidiary questions .. answered some of them and finally i said i dont know for the lastquestion

Finally they all looked at each other and said u can leave.

conclusion —>

No background questions, no experience related quest, no family quests, nothing .. only “violence in India” related questions ..
I think they don’t want to waste time in all those because they will anyways be doing background check and all.

As far as questions are concerned i’ve done reasonably well but I could not judge them if they were satisfied with my answers as they did not change their face expressions and they did not disagree with my answers (except for once) and no counter questions. So it is difficult to predict how was my interview. I am not sure what are they expecting from a candidate.

PS: Readers can provide with their comments. Thanks.

I had my interview in delhi and they just ask me to sing a song and later ask me some silly questions and dont understand what they mean? My interview lasted for almost 5 min and i dont expect a gr8 rslt 4 such an interview.

Hi friends,i have read nice conversations so far…i also want to join with you. Verification may be happened after final results.My doubt is when will bee the medical test!!!, I was interviewed on 15th of Jan at Hyderabad,my interview was last for 20-25 min.I was only the person who got that much time to be interviewed.
My interview:panel of three members were there.While i entered into the room the middle man(main person) was in mobile conversation with somebody in Hindi.I greeted them and sat in front of them. One of the members said that are you santosh?, then i said yes and also i said my full name(even I’ve prepared about the meaning of my name, but they didn’t asked me)
Later person to my right asked me to sit comfortably as i was looking like a bit tense(It’s because my first interview in English)
Then i managed myself to sit.
The middle man asked about my educational qualifications, then i said about them!
Left mem : How can you support yourself for this job?(Your answer should be specific)
me: Sir,I feel that i can easily adopt myself up to the situation, and having the attitude of come what may@,and i am very curious to join in challenging jobs like this!
Right mem : Like this means, what else you want to join?
me: After completion of my MBA i was started preparation for different competitive exams
Left mem: what are those?
me: Bank PO(IBPS), NICL(Insurance), RRB etc. sir!
middle mem: so you did your MBA in 2011,what are you doing for these 2 years?
me: I’ve been working as a lecturer sir
left mem: as (i mean which sub.)
me: as Physics lecturer!
right mem: What being a MBA holder, how can you teach physics?
me: I think for teaching a subject one must have strong command over it, master degree in that particular subject is just an optional, even i have physics as main subject in my graduation sir.
Left mem: Ok, then answer my questions…what is nuclear fission and fusion, and what are the principle behind them?
me: i answered them correctly but they objected me for the definition they want, but somehow i managed the situation
right mem: asked me about chlorophyll,photosynthesis,carotene like 10th std. stuff and i answered them in cool accent.
left mem :again asked me “Why you want to join IB?
me: this time i gave spontaneous but good answer up to the question, “Sir i was almost unaware of IB by the time of Dilsukhnagar, Hyderabad Blasts.i know only IB is an agency that deals with domestic intelligence part.But after that i felt very sad. I read and heard a news in news papers and electronic media that “AP state government neglected the IB report about blasts, and the result was the blasts.A small mis management between state govt. and IB is the cost of victim lives@@@,how one can bare this thing sir,even there are several things in this sensitive issue, but this thing would not have happened,and probably no blame game at all,there should be proper framework for this.so i want to join in this profession to contribute myself for effective functioning of IB, and i may do it.
middle man: how can you measure this room?
me: sorry sir, i am not getting you
middle man: i mean in which units you can measure this room(in sq. mts or sq. fts)
me: but i said a stupid answer, by saying that in sq. mts!
middle man: is that your favorite unit?
me: i just smiled and said yes sir, i am bothering about this question now(will i get short listed or not)
left man: explain about north-east insurgency?
me: i would have prepared for these type of questions, but i wasn’t prepared enough, so i said “sir NE states are buffer states b/w india and china such as assam,arunachal pradesh etc.,and even i would have told about ethnic clashes prevailing there(Being a Mrunal.org reader one must familiar with these type of topics), but again i showed my true pale color here,by saying Nepal name in the name of NE state list.
left mem. :is nepal a NE state?
me: no, sir but there is some problem with boundaries of nepal also (They felt that i was diverting the question deliberately), but in fact i was not!
left mem. :Tell me the list of all NE states?
me: i said entire list correctly, then they stopped the question there(I am feeling guilty for this question)
middle man: asked about time taken by sun light to come to the ground, and moon light, i answered them correctly
right man: Explain about God particle?
me: I answered it correctly,its Higg’s Bosan,and by naming the scientist names(Peter Higg’s and S.N.Bose)and said what the exact theory of Bosan!
right man: again asked me about it by saying ” assume that i am a layman and don’t no about any thing about proton, and neutron etc. then tell me in simple words?
me: Sir, Bosan’s are also have the properties as elementary particles of matter has, but these Bosan’s are causative agents for an atom to have some weight, till now all scientists don’t know about “Why atoms are possessing weight@, but by this theory they found out the fact”
right man: again asking something, but the middle man(main person) stopped him, and said “OK Santosh Perali” your interview is over
me: I said Thank you to all the three of them and came out of the room in a brisk walk.
Friends, and Mrunal sir, please tell me how was my interview, because for me it was the first English Interview,and i am thinking that i will be short listed for final merit list.
Please say some suggestions for me, so that i will improve for further.
Thank and Regards
Santosh Perali
