Room setting – Chairman sitting in a far table desk and two members sitting on
either side in chairs.
Any suggestions for others -
Utility of Mocks or O2O (if any) – Give 5-6 mock this year but the questions asked
in real interview was not from any of the mock leaving aside Naxalism issue in MP.
No mock was similar to actual interview this year. But overall Chahal, Rau’s mock
were good in my experience.
O2O with Dharmadhikari Sir(CMP) was good
