➼ Interview
Candidates who clear the Prelims and Mains examination are eligible for the Personal Interview. It’s very necessary for you to clearly state your thoughts to the interviewers.
As a result, you need to focus on brightening your communication skills and body language. Some candidates are blessed with such skills. Some require practice to become excellent communicators of their ideas.
Candidates with no communication skills can contact those who have already appeared in the Civil Services Examinations or any other examination, to get useful suggestions from them. Because this portion of the Civil Services Examination is not designed to judge someone’s expertise on a subject. However, a candidate must speak from the heart or answer all questions honestly.
There is a common misconception among the candidates that if they lie about their hobby just to get through the interview, it will never help them.
Interviewers are not just to ask questions, but to evaluate a candidate’s personality and ability to evaluate whether a ‘no’ is a ‘no’, it cannot be changed to a ‘yes’ and vice versa.
Medical Test
Candidates who are found medically fit for the post according to their norms will be eligible for the post. Hence, the final merit list will be declared for the ADO post.
