All India Test Series for IAS 2013

I depended totally on Halfmantr.com for GS preparation. I re-read and revised the class notes at home. It was difficult for me to manage two coaching classes (one in the morning, one in the evening) but I was determined to manage. I cut down on sleep and studied even during breaks in the classes, followed its strict routine and finished the course on time. I came back to Guwahati to appear for Main. I forgot about past failures and took Main with a new zeal. I was satisfied with my performance.

Once initial pleasantries were over, the Board asked me on the historic significance and economic significance of my home district Coimbatore. Then questions were asked on my hobby- Formula 1 racing. Subsequently the questions were posed on automobile industry and the acquisitions of Tata. They also asked me if I had attended test series for ias 2013.

When few regional questions were answered by me, the Board posed questions of national importance. When they were also satisfactorily answered by me, they posed questions of international importance like specialty of Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd. The Board expected a holistic coverage of happenings from me. They wanted to know how I prepared ias test series.

One member asked “What’s LPG?” and I answered, “Economically, LPG stands for Liberalization, Privatization and Globalization and domestically they stand for Liquefied Petroleum Gas”. The Board members were quick to appreciate that I have got the answer right proving my mental alertness in identifying a topic of multiple importance. The board further initiated discussion on solving the water scarcity in the nation.

Before the interview ended, the Board asked me to pose one question to them. I solicited the opinion of the Board in real life situation when humanity and law contradict each other. The chairman and one member took their turn to answer my question. After that I was asked to leave and I thanked the Board for the interview and for the test series for ias.
