Hmmm a strange situation for such a great difference between your written and interview marks....anyway best of luck for the next time.

I think both are independent of each other, that is probably why there is such a great difference. I guess I did relatively better in the viva. Thanks for the well wishes though!

How you feel that you performed better in interview?? I mean confidence? correct responses?, or something else? And what are your tips for good score in interview?

Thanks and Best,

Well, honestly speaking I am no expert to give you any tips. If you go through my interview you will see that my interview was very ordinary. There were no hard questions. It was just like a chit chat with friends. All I can tell you is that I was extremely relaxed and calm and did not take any pressure at all before or during the interview. I was told to treat it as just another job interview.
