Here, we are sharing their individual experience in the interview round with the board of members. Candidates can go through these interview transcripts which may help them to prepare for the personality test/interview round.
UPSC Interview Transcripts
With a sole objective to enhance the candidates’ preparation for the personality test/interview round, we are presenting a collection of interview transcripts of candidates who attended the personality test round (who may have or may have not cleared) and shared their experience and questions asked by the board.
After a thorough research on the Internet, we have compiled a host of UPSC Civil Services Examination Interviews by various boards in several years. These transcripts were referred from various institutes’ websites, candidates’ blog and some were bought from Amazon and other resources. These interview transcripts are also available on the internet on different websites.
