# Know Thyself

Knowing yourself is more than just a Socratic saying. It is a way of presenting yourself based on understanding your core strengths and weaknesses. Remember, there is no single right answer for all the questions. Each answer varies based on the candidate and the company. Knowing yourself is very important for laying the tone and direction for the interview. Only if you are comfortable with yourself can you make a good impression on others. 

# Keep Up To Date

Another important point is that you need to stay updated with all the different aspects of your academic and non-academic interests and achievements. Talking about your success in sports or college committees can reveal another facet about yourself which the interviewer may find exceedingly interesting. Points you make should be complemented by acts. For example, talking about your interest in cricket means you should know who is the top ranking batsmen in the ICC ODI ratings. 

# Know the Defence Forces

's needs based on understanding which of your skill sets can help you relate better to the organisational culture, can work wonders.
