A competent candidate’s approach to answering the questions should have the following ingredients:

• He/she should be confident of being selected.
• He/she should be transparent, truthful and have an attitude of not hiding anything.
• Opinions about teachers, friends, family members, boss & colleagues should be expressed freely and honestly not diplomatically.
• Do not treat any questions as tricky or asked with an aim to push you into a corner. Please consider in such situations that the IO wants to know the answer out of curiosity. Examples:
  • Why your marks fell? (Honest answers are the right thing to do; in 99% cases the real reasons are incompetence or lack of commitment; the popular reasons given like: bike accident, grandmother’s illness, candidate’s illness are invariably false & do not help your cause at all).
  • Why you got backlogs?
  • Why did you quit the job?
