Interview Questions: Preparation for the Interview is a continuous process. But basic Questions that you should be prepared to answer.

There are several basic question that you are likely to be asked in interview.  You should prepare for these questions and have convincing answers already worked out.
Civil Services Exam Interview is a part of final round of selections into the prestigious Civil Services. It is heartening that most of the questions asked in the interview are on the expected lines. Candidates can prepare for them well in advance to secure a decent result. Aspirants fail to understand the significance of common questions. Here are the 3 most commonly asked questions in UPSC interviews.
1) Tell us about yourself?
Ans 1:This is the first question you may be asked. This question will help the interviewers about yourself better. It gives them the first impression of the candidate. Make sure that you talk about your education, family, upbringing, employment, etc, in a crisp manner. You may take a minute for introducing yourself but it should be reduced to a maximum of 2 minutes.
The interviewer is not asking for your autobiography so try to keep the information regarding your background crisp and to the point. Do not just rattle off random information about yourself but keep focused on the main highlights of your resume.
1.Start with your educational qualification (training and the degrees) you have obtained. Focus more on the qualifications that pertain to the job that you are interviewing for.
2.Speak about your work experience and each of your jobs briefly. Focus on what you skills you have learnt from them and how they will be of benefit to the role that you are interviewing for.  Speak about your main responsibilities and achievements at each of the positions. Also try to show how you have grown professionally in each of the jobs.
3.Highlight your important strengths and achievements as you are discussing your background.
4.If there is something unusual in your in your background, highlight it here.  This could include hobbies, musical instruments you play, languages that you learnt etc.
2) Why do you want to join Civil Services?
Ans 2.This question is asked to check the seriousness and inclination of the candidates. Interviewers get a good idea about the frame of mind of the candidate by studying his response. It is important to keep the response to 2-3 points. Giving only one cause may become counter-productive if it is not supported by strong reasoning. Multiple points can help but keep it within limits so that you can explain them well.
3)Â What are your hobbies?
Ans 3:This is very crucial part because it gives them an opportunity to understand your personality in concrete terms. By telling your hobbies you are actually telling them the common things you do in your life. you should not tell lies in this part. It may be that you don’t have any serious hobby. In this case, you should mention at least one hobby which you have good interest in. You can cover it up by doing a thorough research on it before the interview.
