Viva-voce (Interview / Personality Test)

1. The candidate will be interviewed by a Board who will have before them a record of his

career. He will be asked questions on matters of general interest. The object of the

interview is to assess the personal suitability of the candidate for a career in public service

by a Board of competent and unbiased observers. The test is intended to judge the mental

calibre of a candidate. In broad terms, this is really an assessment of not only his

intellectual qualities but also social traits and his interest in current affairs. Some of thequalities to be judged are mental alertness, critical powers of assimilation, clear and

logical exposition, balance of judgment, variety and depth of interest, ability for social

cohesion and leadership, intellectual and moral integrity.

2. The technique of the interview is not that of a strict cross-examination but of a natural,

though directed and purposive conversation which is intended to reveal the mental

qualities of the candidate.

3. The interview test is not intended to be a test either of the specialized or general

knowledge of the candidates which has been already tested through their written papers.

Candidates are expected to have taken an intelligent interest not only in their special

subjects of academic study but also in the events which are happening around them both
