*Slots will be handed over on a first come first serve basis*.
Besides our beloved VP Sir who has been mentoring candidates for years, we have roped in Dr. Makhan Saikia, Mr. Rohit Pande and Mr. Rakesh Dalal.
The details of the panelists are as follows –
Virendra Pratap Singh did is B.Tech from IIT Kharagpur in 2003. He joined the services with immense experience in the Private Sector working across domains in high profile companies like Tata Steel, Maruti Suzuki India Ltd, and Tata Motors. He has consistently scored very high marks in interviews. His 2009 score of 213/300 was among the toppers.
His insights have proved to be very helpful to aspirants appearing for exams year after year.
Dr. Saikia is an Author & Expert on International Affairs and Foreign Policy. He has an MA & M. Phil (Pol. Sc.) JNU, New Delhi and Ph.D (Globalization and Governance). His schedule is packed with Conferences and Talks at various national and international forums. At present is he working on a book on major conflicts worldwide. Very rarely he can be seen expressing his opinion for The Pioneer
We believe his immense knowledge on critical contemporary issues will benefit the students and help them face the actual interview with confidence. He will be holding an informal round-table session with all the candidates present on high probable topics.
Mr. Pande, Consultant Tata Trust and understands India’s social sector in great depth. He has a B.Tech from IIT Guwahati with certification in Public Policy. He has interacted with almost every big NGO in our country and has traveled far and wide working with governments and startups trying to upgrade services for the needy and poor.
His ground-level insights will help students enrich their answers wrt social problems faced by India.
Rakesh Sir is a popular figure with Civilsdaily Junta.Man of many degrees – MA, MBA and Political Analyst with a passion for books. Takes out time to read a minimum of 4 books/month on various issues. He knows the interviews in and out and has been instrumental in pinpointing the issues with candidates.
All the panelists are up to date with the latest trends in UPSC interview. They have been associated with UPSC candidates and have kept a tab on the changing format of the exam and the interviews.
This will be an enriching experience with a lot of learning.
Another important point. We want your support to help this interview program evolve into something phenomenal.
While we wish all of you are selected, the hard truth is some of you will be giving the interviews next year. We want to put a system in place where we record your performance in the mocks this year, then get details from you on how your actual interview went. Next year, we assess how your responses have matured.
This might sound bleh at this point and you’d think who cares about next year. But its only by maintaining continuity can we create real value for you.
Hence, we will encourage informal questions, suggestions to our team (not the panelists).
Always at your corner
Civilsdaily
