Source of questions in IAS interview exam
To know what types of questions can be asked, we first have to consider from where the questions can be asked. According to my terminology, where does the ‘root’ of the questions begin? We can say that questions arise in this way:
1.Detailed Application Form (DAF)
2.Personal biography
3.Educational background
4.Previous employment
5.From optional subjects
6.From personal interests (interests)
7.From current events happening around us
8.From the candidate himself
9.From the words used in the answer
Types of questions:
Factual Questions: Their objective is to test the knowledge of the candidate. Often many “difficult” questions are also asked.
Questions based on concepts: Their purpose is to check whether the candidate has knowledge of the concepts of a particular subject or not.
Analytical Questions: Their purpose is to check whether the candidate has the ability to analyze or not. Also, whether the candidate can be impartial towards a particular subject or not.
Questions according to the situation: An imaginary situation is presented to the candidate and his/her views on this situation are asked.
Sources and types of questions
Questions based on moral values, integrity, and values are intended to test the candidate’s belief in moral qualities. Nowadays, the number of such questions in personality tests has increased.
Standard Questions: Those questions which are an integral part of a particular examination and have been asked for a long time and the possibility of them being asked still remains.
Tricky questions: The purpose of these is to test how the candidate reacts in difficult situations. For example, in your opinion, for what reasons can the Integrated Public Service Commission be criticized?” Or “What is your fault?”
Bizarre Questions: These types of questions are to check the reaction expressed by the candidate during adverse situations. For example, in response to your “Good morning, sir,” the board might ask you, “What is good or auspicious about this morning?”
Today, I went to the beach with my children. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She put the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is entirely off topic but I had to tell someone!
Your point of view caught my eye and was very interesting. Thanks. I have a question for you.
I have been surfing on-line more than 3 hours lately, but I by no means discovered any attention-grabbing article like yours. It is pretty price enough for me. Personally, if all webmasters and bloggers made just right content material as you probably did, the net might be much more useful than ever before.
