i have head that todays interview were conducted for 10-15 mints...

[hassanshariq]

last year they were for about 25-30 min each, as the number of candidates is almost same so the average interview time would most probably be kept same.

Although i am not sure but I think it would have been so because when we were interviewed our schedule was like:
At 90 - 3 candidates
At 110 - 3 candidates
At 10 - 3 candidates

But this time its like:
At 9:30 - 6 candidates
At 110 - 6 candidates

New chairman may have different schedule or may be due to the present situation in Islamabad...

[Chosen_One]

Twelve Candidates each day. Interview starts at 9:30 and probably ends at 20. Thus each candidate gets 25 minutes of interview. (300 min/ 12 candidates). Tea break not included.

Questions vary from candidate to candidate; including your field of study, optionals, current issues, anything..

The panel is very friendly. Chairman keeps smiling through out your interview, buys everything you say and hardly ever cross questions.

Nagib Shb is asking somewhat tricky questions but his conduct is friendly as well.

Questions from current issues are broad and abstarct in a sense. Like they are asking about long march, Balochistan, SC verdict.

Duration varied 5 to 7 mints.. 12 to 15 on avg.. 15 to 20 at times..

They didn't ask from my optionals. I have talked to a number of candidates and what I infer is, every interview is taking its own direction. Some are asked about books, personalities, I wasn't asked.

Some interviews were opinion based and some were knowledge based as well!

Best of Luck

Panel:
1. Chairman
2. Mr. Naguib Ullah Malik
3. Mr. Ghalib-ud-Din
4. Mr. Mansoor Suhail
5. Ma'am Batool

Ma'am Batool was very nice. She was asking questions very frankly. She even asked me that when among friends do you people discuss fashion, trends or the national issues.

There were questions like neelam ghar as well in some interviews. But after all it is test of your persoanlity. They can assess it whatever the course interview takes.
