Here is my detailed description of ESE interview . I had given about 15–20 interviews before ESE interview ( These include Placement interview , PSUs interview for Gate 2017 and 2018 , BARC '17 and '18 and ISRO '18 ) . All I can say is , ESE interview was the most calm interview among all the interview I gave . They check your personality skills , presentation skills rather than your knowledge ( Your knowledge is being checked by them earlier in prelims and mains ) .Date - 14 September 2018Panel - Manoj SoniTime - 2:15 - 2:45 (approx)So that day we were asked to arrive by 1:00 pm at UPSC bhavan . I reached well at 12:55 pm . ( Please don't go early , as they will not allow you to go inside before 1 . For UPSC 1 pm means dot 1 pm . Thanks to my seniors, they gave me this tip before my interview ) . As I entered the first thing that was done is document verification ( document verification for students of same panel are done separately ) . They did the document verification in same order in which we were going to be interviewed by the panel . So we got to know about our order of interview by about 1:15 pm . I was the first one to be interviewed . But they don't disclose the chairperson of your panel( you will come to know about that after document verification ) . The document verification continued till 2 . And this was time from where tension , anxiety etc etc starts , as I was the first to be interviewed . Soon I came to know that my panel chairperson is Manoj Soni sir !! . This relaxed me bit . Than a person came to call me and took me right outside the cabin of Manoj Soni sir . I was asked to sit at the chair kept outside the cabin . A standing fan was kept facing me ( may be to keep me calm and cool , but for me it appeared to be scary ) . For around 5 minutes I was waiting outside with all mixed feelings and worrying about the interview . Then I was asked to go inside . A person who was standing outside the door opened the door for me . I asked the permission to come inside from the chairman . He nodded to come in .As I entered, (Monaj Soni sir was sitting like a king in his large sized cabinroom with other 3 technical advisor. The environment inside the room was simply awesome , so much of calmness . This relaxed me alot ) I wished the chairperson first and then to other 3 technical advisor ( not individually ) and stood in front of the chair kept . Then chairperson asked me to sit . Now for around 10 -15 seconds he was just staring me , maybe checking my appearance and the confidence . I was simply smiling with being confident . And then the interview begins . Initially chairperson sir started !Chairman - Manoj Soni Sir .So JayshreedeepakHow is your day going ?I said its wonderful , was waiting for this day since last 1 and half year .He said gd . So have you ever been to UPSC before . I said no sir , this is my first attempt .Then he started going through my DAF . So you are from the place of Ganga. ( As My college is MNNIT Allhabad . ) I said yes sir . So have you ever visited to Sangam there . I replied yes sir , we all friends used to go there sometime .Then he read my hobbies , so u love watching highlights of cricket matches . I said yes sir .Then he said yes it's good to get information in short span . He smiled . I smiled back . Then he said so you like Diary writing . I said yes , It makes me feel good doing so . He replied good to see your generation too have such sort of hobby . I said thankyou so much sir . Then he said " hamere Desh videshe bht sare ajube hai "Do you know them . I replied with 4 names which I was remembering at that time . Then he said . Ok . As I ended with the word "statue of Liberty"( the big blunder I guess because it's no more in wonder's of the world ) .So he said In India also some statue is going to inaugurate soon . Do you have idea about this . I said yes sir Maharashtra government is planning to construct a statue of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. He said no , I am not asking about that I am asking about the one who is inaugurate in some months . I said sorry sir I am not aware of this . He said ok .Then frankly I said the current affairs of mine is little weak . I need to work on this . Then he said Its ok , as long as you are good in your stream , current affairs is not a big issue . So what are your favourite subject during your B tech . I replied sir , I used to love studying subjects like Strength of material , structural analysis , Geotechnical engineering , and Environmental Engineering .Then he said , ok let's start with Geotechnical engineering . Then he asked one of the technical advisor to ask me question based on geotechnical engineering .Technical advisor - 1So shall we start with soil stabilisation .I said yes sir . Then he asked can you tell meWhat is soil stabilisation and why we do it .I said yes sir to enhance the properties of soil , such as to increase the shear strength , bearing capacity .So do you know classification of stabilisation .I said is it about considering the materials we use to stabilize . Then he said justify it . I said likeLime stabilisation , bitumen Stabilisation , stabilisation by means of goetextile .He said okBut what you said goetextile is broad concept , can you classify them . I said sorry sir , I am not aware of its classification . But One thing I know is geosynthetic fibres are being used as a reinforcement in soil .He said ok .Then he said some four to five names . ( May be about the classification , and asked me do I have heard about them , I said no sir , I am not aware of these names) .He said okNo problem .Then he said you said lime stabilisation is used to increase the strength and bearing capacity . Then I said yes sir . So he said can you give example where it is used . I said yes sir , it is used in black cotton soil to decrease it swelling properties , and also increase the bearing capacity .Then he said can you explain me the concept behind this . I started explaining it by the help of compaction chart of soil , before and after lime stabilisation on the basis of change in swelling properties . Then he stopped me and said no no I am asking you why lime , why not other material , then I asked them with the decrease in adsorbed layer thickness due to addition of lime and so to increase the vanderwall force of attraction which help the particle to come closer and hence explained it with help of chart .He said ok .Then he said do you know about consolidation . I explained . Then he asked what is secondary consolidation . I explained .OkSo do know about the classification of soil .I said yes , then started explaining about classification of gravel , sand .And then I said about silt and clay .He said do we use particle size analysis in order to classify fine grained soil . I said no sir . Indian classification use atterberg limits to classify the fine grained soil . Then I started to explain them atterberg chart . He stopped me and said it's fine .Then he asked me so do you know about plastic limit . I explained . Then he asked me about liquid limit . I explained .Then he asked me about have you heard about the term solid industrial waste . I said yes . Then he asked me can you give me example . I said radioactive waste from nuclear industry . He said “gentlemen it come under broad term known as nuclear waste “ . I said ok sir . And said sorry sir , I am getting this example right now . Ok now my last question , Have you heard about fly ash . I said yes sir . What is it . I explained . Isn't it solid waste ? I said yes sir it is . He smiled and then said is it a soil or soil like substance . I said soil like . Ok den what is its size . I said I am not aware of this .He said ok .And asked other member to ask me further questions .Technical advisor -2Are you ok with structural analysis ?I said yes sir .So can you tell me nowadays we use various modelling software to analyse the structure . Which method in used in these software to analyse the structure ?I said stiffness method . Also I gave the detailed reason why we use stiffness method and not flexibility method .Than the very next question what is the difference between flexibility and stiffness method ( the plan works :p )I explained in detail .After listening to my answer he praised me It seems you love structures alot . I smiled ( this gave me lot of confidence )Than he gave me simple portal frame in the paper kept in front of me and asked me to analyse it . I did it with ease by moment distribution method .Than he complicated the problem by providing the internal hinge in the joint . As I had seen such type of problem I did that too with ease.( the very same question was solved in our mains batch by Swami sir , Made easy ) . So I was confident with my answer . After seeing my answer he said are you sure ? I said Yes sir ( by quickly going through my answer ) .Than he asked me while designing beam we generally take depth to be high than width . Why this is so ?I explained as the stiffness of beam depend upon the moment of inertia of the section, and moment of inertia increases more rapidly by increasing the depth of the section than its width ( as moment of inertia varies with cube of depth of section ) .So he said ok, you mean to say it will be ok to keep breadth very small and depth very high .I said no sir . It is advisable to keep the ratio of depth to width around 2 .Why is it so ?Sir may be due to aesthetic reasons .He laughed and said me to think technically .Sir may be to make the section torsion resistant too . Else there will be chances of twisting along the width of it kept quite low .He said ok good .Can you tell me practically a situation when torsion will come in the beam .I gave the example of cross beam over the main beam ( cross beam being perpendicular to main beam ) and loading only along one side of the cross beam .So how we design the beam for this torsion ?Sir for torsion we need to provide the reinforcement spiral form (due to pure shear case and principal stress arises diagonally ) But practically it is difficult to provide them . So we increase the longitudinal and shear reinforcement due to this additional torsion force .He seemed to be satisfied .He said ok now my last question .What is the poisson's ratio of concrete and steel ?I said sir it's 0.3 ( in hesitation ) for concrete . ( The blunder 0.3 is for steel )Ok then what is the poisson's ratio for steel .I said sorry sir 0.3 is of steel .Then what is for concrete ?I said sorry sir I don't remember that right now !He said these the materials which you will be going to deal daily . You must remember these kind of data .I said I will definitely look after this from now .Technical advisor -3So you are comfortable in Environmental engineering or hydrology .I said in both sir .Ok then let's begin with environment engineering .I said ok .Have you heard about the digestion process ?I said yes sir and explained with definition .So what are the types of digestion ?I said aerobic and anaerobic digestion . And further I explained there difference and the suitability of both digestion procedure in context of primary slide and secondary sludge .So he said is it single stage digestion or double stage digestion ?I said sorry sir , I have not heard about stages in digestion process .He said ok have you heard about sludge thickening , and why it is done ?I explained .Then further he asked me to draw the schematic diagram of activated sludge process and explain it .I explained it to them with diagram .He then asked me to give the difference in the design criteria of primary sedimentation tank and secondary sedimentation tank .I explained it based on the size of particles to be removed and the detention time required (high or low ) in both the tanks .He seemed to be satisfied .He said ok last question !What is the detention time in both the tanks .I answered ( Hopefully I was remembering the values at that moment ) .He then further handed over me to Chairperson .Chairperson smiled and wished me good luck .I said thankyou sir .He said I may go now .I said thankyou and left from the room.Bit of relaxation as it is over for now . I was happy to give the interview well .I obtained 120/200 marks in the interview .Considering the marks of other student 120 is good score in interview this time .Some useful tips from my side to future aspirantTry to be as simple and humble as you can . They are checking your personality rather than your knowledgeDon't give bluff answer . They know much more than you . It's better to say No , for the one you don't know .UPSC is unpredictable . You can't say what will be asked to you . Some will say practical questions will be asked , some will say related to your projects , your job profile will be asked , some will say general awareness question will be asked . But they can ask you anything . In my case they asked nothing related to project , practical questions , job profile . They asked me purely technical things , what we study . So be prepared for anything . Around 1–2 months will be there for your interview after mains result declaration . Utilise that time effectively .Try to control your interview from your side . Use some terms (in which you are confident) in your previous answer so that it makes the interviewer to ask related to that . ( I did and it worked , and even it worked for many )Don't panic before your interview . They will make you comfortable first by asking general questions related to you through your DAF . So prepare about your DAF well before interview . As mostly initial questions will be from your DAF . Now it's upto you that how much you extend your DAF realted questions . I had given about 15–20 interviews but UPSC ESE interview had the best environment among all .Try to have lots of conversation with chairperson , as final marks is his hand only .Good luck to all future aspirants !!Work hard !!

Selection through GATE 19Branch: civilVenue- IIPM Gurugram , DelhiDate 23–7–2019We were called at 8 am and I was on time . The campus looks like thisThe pre placement talk was supposed to start at 8:30 but the guy who was there was really angry because some of the students didn't have some print outs and Xerox. He was like “ ye log samhalenge 60 saal purani company”. There was a facility for Print outs and Xerox but he was angry that even after having 1 month you guys couldn't arrange your documents.PPT ended at 9:15 and DV started. Candidates were being called for interview after DV.I was asked to appear for GD and GT first. There were 8 member in our group and they had two observers.GD-Topic 1- is it the right time to give away subsidies in India?Topic 1- fixed pay vs Variable pay.GD went really well , better than what I expected.GT- you guys have to improve the living standards of BPL people. What steps would you take?Again it went really well.Then I was called for the interview. I was the last candidate called for the interview before lunch.There were 5 member in panel including 1 female. As I enter I wished all of them.M1– so Anupam , tell me something about your self?M1– as you know PSU are gonna be privatised soon than why not private company?( Is question m kafi discussion hua and he wasn't satisfied with the answer)F1– Anupam what is net metering?I had no idea what it is.F1– recently one of the states in India got its first Airport, do you know the state?F1– what is petro coke?M2– what do you know about IOCl?M3– he asked 2–3 question related to my Project.M4– so your hobby is football. Who is the highest goal scorer of all time?I said Pele , I knew he score 1200 something goals. But M2 said no it is someone else. And at that moment I was litteraly shocked. I was thinking ki Pele se uper kon h yr ? And he was right. There is a guy whose name I never heard .M3– so what are your favourite subjects?M3- When we talk about soil , what is the thing we are most interested in?M3– Most important property of soilM3– difference between Allowable bearing pressure and Net bearing capacity?M3– in silty sand , what is the max deflection we allow?M3– atterberg limits ?M3– do we prefer higer liquid limit or lower liquid limit and why?M3– What is the on an average strength of clayey soil?M3 asked 3–4 more questions which I'm not able to recall.After interview I had lunch.After filling travel reimbursement form and feedback form we were allowed to leave.At the gate we asked the watch man do we have to sign anywhere he said “ Abhi nahi , Jab aap log ka selection ho jayega tab kerwayenge ham sir “ from inside I was thinking ab Jale pe namak bhi chidak lo aap.Basically interview was not good. Couldn't answer that one question on my hobby, the interviewer wasn't looking satisfied on privatisation answer and performance in technical questions was also average. Over-all I answered about 60% of their questions.My other answers which might help-IOCL CTC Breakup-Anupam Mahor's answer to What is the salary structure in IOCL since CTC is 16.7 and basic pay is 60,000 per month that is 7.2 lakh?My other interview experiences-Anupam Mahor's answer to How was your interview experience for NPCIL and BARC?Anupam Mahor's answer to How is the RITES interview for GET (civil) through the GATE?Anupam Mahor's answer to Can I submit my provisional certificate and mark sheets in the ISRO or PSU interview as a degree certificate will come after a year?PSU salary structure-Anupam Mahor's answer to What is the approximate salary for a GATE pass out student in PSUs?Anupam Mahor's answer to What is the in-hand salary of an ONGC employee recruited through the GATE after the latest pay revision?My preparation schedule-Anupam Mahor's answer to What was your height of dedication for GATE preparation? Did you satisfy with your GATE result?more referencesAnupam Mahor's answer to If someone has 10 marks greater than the cutoff declared by the ONGC through the GATE 2019 ECE, what are the chances for final selection?Edit 1- Results were announced and as expected I wasn't selected. I have filed a RTI to know my interview and GD/GT marks and how far behind I was from the cut off of merit list.I got 4 out of 5 in GD and GT and 5.7 out of 10 in interview.Cutoff marks for final selection for SC category was 63.3 out of 100 and I got 60.6.Edit 2: I have been selected in EIL. I was not in the first list. I received an email from EIL on 23rd October, my joining date was 4th November. The first list from GATE was released in 2nd week of September, So its clear I was in the waiting list.I filed an RTI for EIL as well and I came to know that I got 102 out of 200 in the interview. The selection criteria was 85% weightage of GATE Score and 15% of interview.If you like my answers than do follow, it gives an extra motivation to write on Quora.Peace ☮️

According to the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights “ Everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of person.” But according to the Universal Declaration of Human Responsibilities” Article 4It goes like this “Although every human person is infinitely precious and must be unconditionally protected, the lives of animals and plants which inhabit this planet with us likewise deserve protection, preservation, and care. That is, we humans are a part of nature, not apart from nature. Hence, as beings with the capacity of foresight we bear a special responsibility - especially with a view to future generations - for the air, water, and soil, that is, for the earth, and even the cosmos”.By saying that changing your ways to help the environment is against the 3rd Article, but it is quite against the Article 10 that says “Property, limited or large, carries with it an obligation; ownership not only permits the personal use of property but also entails the responsibility to serve the common good”. And against Article 9 “No one has the right to rob or dispossess in any way any person, group of persons, or the commonwealth. Every human being ought rather to deal honestly and fairly”.By above statements I infer that nature and its resources are an essential part of human survival and every human has an equal right to it hence should not be polluted for it is a misconduct on our part and a serious threat to the coming generations.
