My interview was a mixture of analytical and token questions.It started with some discussion then token questions were bombarded and ended up with discussing Syrian crisis.
After a dedicated interview preparation of more than 4 months i was able to answer them above 70 percent. I left interview room with a complacent feeling.
Moreover,written score has played a vital role in allocations.Most of the candidates with low scoring subjects have remained unallocated.
Luckily, this lunatic bird has found its nest in excise and taxation dpt.
Allocated as excise and taxation officer.
Planning to appear in css 17 also as its my last attempt.Birds rarely find a permanent residence, so preparing for a new flight.
