My SSC CGL Interview Experience: Nitish Goel, Assistant in CSS, SSC CGL 2013
On the day of my interview, like every other candidate, I was nervous too and was feeling butterflies in my stomach as it was one of the most important days of my life but I knew that "Nervousness would lead nowhere". Visiting a nearby temple and having my favourite chocolate helped me to overcome this nervousness and got ready for the interview.
I managed to reach the SSC office just in time. Once I reached the office and started going through the list on the board, I saw that there were two groups of 20 candidates each and in the second group my name was on first entry. Soon an MTS person came with an attendance sheet and asked the candidates to be ready with four bio data copies and other important documents.
Then we were called to another room for document verification. Soon after that, I was called for the interview.
After obtaining permission from the interview panel, I entered the room. I was neatly dressed in a navy blue formal shirt, Black pants and black formal shoes that are silent against the floor. I entered the room with a smile on my face.
3 members on the panel were sitting across the table. They smiled back at me.
I wished them a polite “Good afternoon”, and after having been told to sit down, I took the centre seat.
Member 1: Mr. Goel, where have you done your schooling from?
Me: I told them all the details about my schooling.
Member 3: Tell us about your family background?
Me: I told about the occupation of my father, mother and studies of my sister.
Member 2: What subjects did you pursue in your graduation?
Me: Sir, I recently completed my B. tech. from IP University.
Member 2: Can you tell me what conductance is?
Me: Conductance refers to the degree to which an object conducts electricity, calculated as the ratio of the current which flows to the potential difference present. This is the reciprocal of the resistance, and is measured in siemens or mhos.
Member 1: What is a TTL circuit?
Me: Transistor transistor logic is a class of digital circuits built from bipolar junction transistors (BJT) and resistors. It is called transistor transistor logic because both the logic gating function and the amplifying function are performed by transistors
Member 3: What is the difference between a flip flop and a latch?
Me: The difference between a flip flop and a latch is that a latch is asynchronous, and the outputs can change as soon as the inputs do. A flip flop on the other hand is edge triggered and only changes when a control signal goes from high to low or low to high.
Member 2: Can you tell me about Faraday’s law of electricity?
Me: It states that when the magnetic flux linking a circuit changes, an electromotive force is induced in the circuit proportional to the rate of change of the flux linkage.
Member 1: Alright Nitish. Do you keep up with current affairs?
Me: Yes sir I try to. I browse through the newspaper on a regular basis and try to stay aware of the latest happenings.
So they asked me 4-5 questions from the topic which were generally seen in news those days.
Member 2: Alright now tell me what separates Sri Lanka from India?
Me: Palk Strait and Gulf of Munnar
Member 3: Have you ever heard of a place which has 6 months of day and night?
Me : Countries near the poles and within the arctic circle have 6 months of night, and six months of day so to speak, at times it’s more like a constant sunrise or sunset, because the Earth tilts on it’s axis with the poles pointing toward and away from the sun. For those of us closer to the equator, the sun rises and sets as the Earth rotates. For those people at the poles, it’s either shining all day, or not, and at times they have shortened days and nights.
Member 2: Mr. Nitish, tell us the difference between PSLV and GSLV?
Me: I explained the difference in detail.
Member 1: What are the demerits of Privatisation?
Me: Sir, as market is blind to social reality it always prefers to go for profit seeking. Govt on its part must regulate it and give reasonable amount of freedom at the same time. There must always be a law backing it, for example in the recent Companies Act, 2013 we kept the mandatory Corporate Social Responsibility provision so that they can adhere. If this kind of regulation is there, there won't be much problem with privatization sir.
Member 2: Parliament kis kis se banti h?
Me: told
Member 3: How many candidates are nominated in Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha
Me: Told
Member 2: What is the full form of JNNURM?
Me: Its Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission
Member 3: What does the constitution declare India as?
Me: The Constitution declares India to be a sovereign, socialist, secular, democratic republic.
Member 3: Alright Nitish, I think we are done here. Thank you and all the best for your future.
Me: Thank you Sir, thank you Ma’am. It was nice talking to you.
It was first interview of my life and I cleared it. I was happy like anything.
