Today was my interview (Friday, 29-03-2013)
I was 5th candidate in line…

Mr. Chairman

Some questions about my current job, designation, place of posting
duties and responsibilities
a discussion about technical issues about my department, track condition, speed restrictions, signaling system (Mr. Chairman has also served as IG Railway Police, so he was having good understanding of department)

Mr. Najibullah

Some info about my native district
link between my name and my district (Pakpattan Sharif
Why your district is so famous?
Question about hobbies
My favourite books and reason for liking? (1984, A case of exploding mangoes)

(Mr. Chairman left the room and did not return)

Who recommended you these books?
Disadvantages of General Zia’s policies?
But how did economy grow during zia’s regime?
who is your favourite leader in Pakistan, apart from Mr Jinnah (No one!)
You did not mention any leader responsible for the problems in Pakistan. Why?
who proved the most disastrous? (we cannot blame a single person for all the problems)

Mr Mansoor Suhail

What is Hamood ur Rehman Commission Report?
Have you read it?
What are reasons behind fall of Dacca?(named a few)
You did not mention army( I mentioned it earlier and again reiterated, but cannot blame army solely for whole episode of fall of Dacca)
What are other issues, historically speaking, which led to the critical situation in East Pakistan?
What was Role of Khwaja Nazim ud Din towards this whole scenario? (I dropped this question)

(Meanwhile Mr. Najibullah left the room and returned just 2 before the culmination of viva)

What are Impediments in the way of Gwadar Port becoming fully functional?
What Railways can do to link Gwadar with Quetta?
What would be the length of track (if constructed) from Gwadar to Quetta?

Mr. Ghalib ud Din

What is total rail route of Pakistan?

(then there was a 2 minute long lecture about event when Sheikh Mujib wanted to open his party’s office in Lahore but he was not allowed, even Airline did not issue him ticket, and how he managed to come to Lahore secretly via India, and he said this is how West Pakistanis used to treat East Pakistanis)

What are the issues of friction between some of the Latin American states and USA (my optional was History of USA)
Reason of rivalry between Cuba and USA?
Rise of Brazil?
what are BRICS?
Potential of BRICS?
Some recent policy agreement between BRICS members? (I dropped this Q as well)

Madam Batool

Attack on Malala? Why significant event?
Is she selling her ideas in the form of book?
Does it reflect the psyche of our whole nation?
Is not she very much young to become so much famous?
As Malala is youngest nominee for Nobel Peace prize, don’t you think these awards are sinister and biased?
What do you know about Civil Service reforms of Bhutto?
Do we need some reforms in today’s bureaucracy?


it was an above-average interview! Let's see what happens. Hoping for the best!
