APSC CC(Mains) Final Marks = CC Mains (Written Exam) marks + Interview marks

Need for Interview

The interview stage of the APSC CC (Mains) Exam is supposed to assess the suitability of the candidates who are academically qualified to serve the executive branch of Govt of Assam. They try to ascertain personality traits, qualities and essentialities of a good civil service officer.

Interview Process

Unlike APSC Prelims and Mains Exam, Interview questions have no defined standard & Syllabus and thus difficult to prepare and generalize questions by the APSC Interview Boards, and solely depends on the board members taking your interview.

There will be multiple Boards, each board has one chairman (probably either APSC Chairman or as APSC member) and two/three other members.

Interview Questions

Most of the questions asked in interview are usually predictable barring a few. It is therefore important to be as attentive and as calm as possible in the interview so that the answers should be short, sensible and up to the point.

You should try to answer any question by systematically arrange the facts and points (in mind).

It is more about answering correctly rather than giving correct answers. You should smartly sail through the questions whose answer you don’t know.

Tips for APSC Interview Preparation

# Know Yourself Very probably the APSC Interview board will ask atleast one question regarding yourself. So, know everything (what comes in your resumes) about yourself. Stick to the original you (If you are not a good actor). Your Hobby, Your Academics, Your Achievements, Your Job (for working candidates), Your Family etc.

# Why ACS/APS or any other service – At some point of time they may ask your reason to join ACS, APS or any other particular service. Prepare a very convincing answer for this question. Utmost important for candidates already in a job, any way superior to APSC ACS/APS etc.

# Current HappeningsReading newspapers, magazine, following govt/development happenings and other current issues of Assam and India is very important

# Know Assam – Knowledge about Assam History, Polity, Geography, Economy and Art & Culture is also very important, so, try to brush up again these areas. (Very important if you are staying outside Assam). Also know your locality.

# Optional / Academic subjects – Questions can be asked about your optional subject(s) and degree/masters subject(s), so try to revise alteast the fundamentals of these subjects. (Very important if your Optional(s) are different from your educational background)

# Don’t Bluff – If you don’t know answer of a particular question, say “Sorry Sir/Madam, I do not know” instead of beating around the unknown bush. Just make sure you don’t say too many “Sorry Sir/Madam, I do not know”.

 

Before the APSC Interview

 

# Prepare mentally  The Interview stage demands more of calm and composed mind & personality, so stop accumulating more and more information immediately before Interview and try to be in your comfort zone.

# Ready all necessary documents

  • All original certificates (including Birth Certificate)
  • Mark Sheets
  • Caste certificate
  • Disability_status(if applicable)

We recommend No Objection Certificate (NOC) also

# First impression (Dress code)

On Interview day, Dress smartly in a comfortable full formal attire.

For Male – Shoe (with shocks), Trouser (Preferably dark coloured), Full sleeve shirt (Preferably light coloured). Tie is optional (based on your comfort level and climatic condition). Wristwatch is good.

For Female – Shoe or Sandal (low-heeled / do not make noise), simple Saree or a Salwar suit (based on your comfort level). Neaty hair and minimum makeup. Minimum jewellery.

 

NOT Recommended

  • Avoid bright colours/shades/prints cloths
  • No cool jeans and T-shirts.
  • No sneakers or flip-flops.
  • Male candidates avoid very stylish beard and long hair.

Be Confident Be Positive 

Don`t give up and never despond! Believe in yourself and your luck; you can do everything!!!!
