Typically, questions in the UPSC interview round revolve around the candidate's background, achievements, opinions, and general awareness. Interviewers ask questions to assess a candidate’s holistic understanding of issues related to governance, public administration, and socio-economic challenges. They may pose situational problems to evaluate decision-making and ethical reasoning. Furthermore, questions related to current events and the candidate's thought process are common, allowing the panel to gauge communication skills and personality traits. Preparation for this round requires candidates to articulate their views clearly and present themselves confidently.
