Tips for Personal Interview –

 

  1. Don’t start with the phrase – Myself XYZ – there’s no better way ti put the panel off.
  2. Getting into details about siblings and cousins – especially the one who seem to have done well. Panelists want to know about you, not about your extended family.
  3. Don’t cite – ‘making friends’ or ‘meeting new people’ – as a hobby. Wonder how one pursues a hobby like ‘meeting new people’!

Don’t say things like – I studied this in my first year – as an excuse for not knowing more basic stuff related to their subject of study. The panel members study this about 20 years back – they still remember about it
