you will be asked to leave. In the event of any doubt or query raised by
any assessor in the conference, you may be posed some situations and

asked to respond or you may be asked some straightforward questions.

3. When you enter the conference room, you will find a ‘U’ shaped table in

front. A pictorial representation of the conference hall is shown at the
end of this chapter. There will be a single chair placed at the opposite

end, far away from the President/Interviewing Officers. You will be
required to sit on this chair in full view of everyone and all will be

looking at you. This could be quite intimidating and hence, keep saying

to yourself ‘All is well’.

4. Keep the following Dos and Don’ts in mind when facing the conference:

Put on formal clothes. If it is winter, even a blazer will do. If it is

summer and warm, just put on a tie. Avoid three-piece suits.
Always wear full sleeve shirts.

Look smart. Shave properly and comb your hair well.

When your turn comes, knock on the door and enter automatically.

Proceed to your chair, wish everyone and wait till you are asked to

sit.

When asked to sit, please sit down with your spine straight and do
not slouch. Keep your arms on your thighs and do not use them

much.

Keep a smiling face and look straight into the eyes of the person

who is speaking to you.

Answer all the questions carefully. Make sure you do not contradict
your own self.

Prepare answers for all the interview questions which you could not
answer. In all probability, you will be asked to answer those

questions during the conference.

Do not criticise the centre, the food, your mates, or the staff.
