Are they asking about the favourite personality and the favourite books in psychological? I heard someone say that they are not asking personalities this time around.

can you please explain for the benefit of all e.g. the functions/roles etc

Yes I did fine till the corruption question..Luckily I read a report in the newspaper the other day that Obama wanted to stop uranium extraction from these canyons..it helped me :p but the last three questions put by him flew right above my head!

that's great! but seriously these were not very simple questions......this time the panel is not asking same questions from eveyone........these questions are not opinion based, they are totally general knowledge based.....thanx for sharing and best of luck.

And yes the interview I found a little tough I would say. I was expecting alot of questions pertaining to Energy crisis owing to my engineering background but there were none..Also the NICL and hajj scam are not that recent either..to the corruption issue, I was able to come up with the exact answer as the Gen Sahb was expecting but not before I had hopped around here and there quite a bit..He acknowledged at the end that that wass what I wanted to hear in the first place Overall I guess Interviews just can't be generalised this time..Newspapers should be thoroughly read daily and rest should be left to God..no guesses can work this time :/

Absolutely right....and i would suggest the remaining aspirants that don't ask about the interviews of previous candidates....I am saying this after getting experience....we make our minds accordingly and on the spot we really feel that something strange is happening to us.....the panel is not an ordinary one....they have known the tactics of the students as well,so they are playing differently this time....

Nothing is novel for css candidates at this stage....they are focusing mainly upon following things...

1.Educational background
2.Job if any
3.Psychological performa
4.Optionals
5.Current affairs
6.General knowledge and common sense
7.Approach and analytical skills,positive/negative thinking
8.Behaviour
9.Groups of preference

so focus on each and every part and prepare yourself for that....prepare 2-3 liner answers and don't assume that same questions will be asked from you as were asked from your friends....this is ''homework''
