I think they drag you a bit too much, at least to my comfort level, in issues like boundries of kashmire and G Baltistan and Dawn newspaper.

Can you share your optionals?
Thank u for your wishes. Yes you are right. It was too much. I did not expect them to be that much into such details.
My optionals were Indo pak history, International relations, Sociology and geography.

Best of luck :-)
Thanks yes literature questions were the one's where I performed well atleast in my opinion. It lasted for 25 to 30 minutes I think.

It was not an easy interview though.It must have been difficult to remember the areas of Balochistan and Kashmir.It means that panel isnow switching from opinion based question to those which include definite answers like economic indicators,energy consumption percentage.

Very Best of Luck.May you have a glorious victory.

@ Z Bukhari, brother your interview is little bit different & difficult as well. No national and international current issues were even touched... Questions regarding areas of Balochistan and Kashmir?? However wishing you best of luck, i pray for your success.

It is a detailed interview w.r.t others shared so far and the most vital factor in your interview is that it is like a discussion ,where the interviewers, as far as i see, have asked questions from your answers, making it more detail oriented. It needs to be seen what sort of answers you gave irrespective of the fact and info oriented questions. As per my analysis, it is a useful interview as the panel took interest in you and your background. If you have remained confident and jubilant during the interview irrespective of your under performance about fact oriented questions. During the process, if you have argued with them about the issues they discussed, you are on the safe side. Do share your responses so that it would be easy to understand the chemistry. Overall, it is a good interview and I hope you would be rewarded. Keep your hopes high. :-)
