President :—Have you done your intermediate from Colvin College Lucknow ?
Candidate :—Yes, Sir.
President :—You must be knowing the English teacher Mr. Y.P. Singh.
Candidate :—Yes, Sir,
President :—How is he ?
Candidate :—Sir, he is fine and is a Vice-Principal.
President :—He is very honest, dedicated, caring and loving, is it so ?
Candidate :— Yes Sir.
President :—You must be knowing librarian Sri A.K. Srivastava, is it not true that he is a bit fool
and out spoken ?
Interpretation :—Either you agree with him or you justify that how he is not a fool & out spoken ? Even in
rappo building or in leading questions sometimes facts and opinions come. Personality comes, the moment you
react. It is a personality based selection not the performance based. Your personality comes when you perform.
Therefore, you perform in such a way so the performance matches with your personality that too through your
body language, maturity, gesture, words and patience etc. In the process of maintaining the naturality alongwith
honesty. The system would like you to see in the profile of a defence officer.
III Method :—Rapid fire questions :—When a bunch of questions is fired rapidly then it becomes
rapid fire.
Purpose :—To find out your grasp, I.Q. level, effective intelligence, logical reasoning, confidence,
patience, power of expression and the mental stamina etc.
Interpretation :—Distance of the chair, number of questions both are decided immediately by the
Interviewing officer considering your O.I.R. (Officer Intelligence Rating) If you are OIR–2, he may fire more
than 20 questions, OIR–3 may face between 15 to 20 questions, in case of OIR–4 it may rang between 10 to 15
questions and OIR–5 is rarely recommended.
IV Method :—Punctuating and bulldozing the questions :—
Explanation :—When the questions are bulldozed and punctuated to you; meaning thereby the
questions are imposed leaving no alternative except to answer. Questions of this category are answered
in the way as they are expected to be answered from a man of your level. These questions require some
sort of solutions, particularly intellectual solutions. For that gentleman, he will place you in position of
an authority, sometimes on the top or at the bottom to find out your adjustment and judgement. I will
exemplify it as below :—
President :— Vinod, a lot of power cuts, electricity thefts are being reported causing heavy loss to
the Govt. exchequer and you are the chairman of UP Electricity Board, how you will control it ?
Candidate :—Sir, I will take a week to analyse the situation after getting report from all the zones
of city as it is a known phenomenon. I will draw the exact feedback and data about the illegal
connections, power thefts, defective meters, irregularity of staffs, pending decisions. Then, I will form a
committee delegating the required powers to install the camps even into the interiors, giving a month
time to bring everything into the order. For example :—regularising the connection, breaking into the
easy instalments for the backlog or pending dues, issuing heavy penalty for thefts while conducting
raids and nabbing the culprits, awarding over time for the staff working extra to dispose-off the pending
work as the last measure. I myself will keep a close eyes on every deployment running and exerting
from pillar to post. By this way I will control the power crisis.
Interpretation :—There is no fixed answer or criterion to these questions, the above example is a model. You
& your intellectual imagination will answer the question not me. Improve your personality, knowledge, depth,
logic and planning, because your answer will spell your level. It can be answered in so many ways as it depends
on your imagination as imagination is unlimited. Imagination does not have any prescription as it happens in
clue not in vacuum.
The second method to answer this question may be like this :—
Candidate :—The moment, I will takeover as a chairman, I will Ist study and finalise the issues, as
what to do, and How to do, that too within how much time ? as I am from the same profession and
