This year, there is certainly a big difference the way interviews were conducted and the amount of number given this time. But this is a normal change if you keep in mind different factors. Firstly this was a brand new panel with new all the members are new. Secondly, the pattern usually changes each year. so one has to be vigilant enough to know beforehand the changes occurring with the passage of each year. I personally was interviewed for more than 35 minutes and it was quite a nice interview in the sense that I was confident enough to answer their queries in a very precise manner .and with the help of Almighty Allah I was awarded 206 marks.
