An Exclusive Interview with Ms.L.Maithily, TNPSC Group I Exam
Topper 2011-13 Exam Interview held on 7th April 2014
(Fifth Rank)
Hi friends, I am Maithily.L, scored state fifth in TNPSC
Group I Services and was selected as Asst Commissioner, Commercial Taxes. I completed
my B.E Computer Science and Engineering Course at SSN College of Engg and at
present working as Assistant Manager at Allahabad Bank, Madurai Main Branch. The
interest in Government sector jobs made me to join classes to prepare for
competitive exams as soon as I finished my degree. Though I got Bank job, I was
more interested in Group I services as it is the job which is more public
oriented, more decision making oriented, more service oriented.
TNPSC
Group I has three stages – Prelims, Mains and Interview. To crack prelims, one
should have wide knowledge on all subjects. Maths plays a major role in prelims
as 50 questions out of 200 covers aptitude questions. One should be thorough
with Indian polity, Current Affairs, Indian National Movement and Maths to
crack Prelims very easily.
Mains
examination needs more effort as it is subjective. Six to eight months of sincere
preparation with regular tests is necessary to clear mains exam. Completion of
paper with neat and legible handwriting, presenting the answer in the precise
manner are the major issues in the mains which can be overcome by the regular
practice tests.
Interview
is more self oriented and it is the easiest of all the three stages. It is just
a personality test and can score good marks by giving smart and confident
answers. My success credit goes to my mentor Mr. Sam Rajeswaran, Apollo Study
Centre who has moulded me by providing the proper guidance and mental support.
I
have cleared TNPSC Group I Services in my second attempt and in my first
attempt, I had failed in mains examination. In interview, I had been asked the
following questions.
1. If
you are a DSP and if a adult girl and boy ask for protection against their
parents as their parents are against their marriage and if you are a person who
generally don’t prefer this kind of marriage and if police are busy in election
duty to give protection, what will be your reaction to that situation?
2. If
you are a DC and if the people of a village come to greet you with sweets and a
cash cover as you have brought water supply, electricity connection to that
village, will you accept the cash and sweets? How will you react to that
situation?
3. What
is the major difference between Finance Ministry and RBI
4. What
is cyber attack? Give its types
5. What
is Phishing?
6. Will
KYC norms in banks help in reducing the Cyber attacks?
7. Is
bank in rural area helpful in economic development? If so, how?
8. How
do banks help in education? Explain
9. Why
do you prefer Group I services though you are in a good job with a nice salary?
10. What is special in your college? Why many
students prefer SSN College?
11. Are private banks necessary? What is the use?
If so, why former Indian PM Mrs.Indira Gandhi said that all banks should be
nationalized and there should be no private banks?
12. Who is Malala Yousafzai? Where she is at
present? For what reason, she is famous for?
13. How is women status in India at present compared
to 1900’s?
Interview
is all about your personal details, working area questions and current affairs.
It is not necessary that one should answer all questions. The strategy is that
one should be more confident in giving answer and bold to accept that the
answer is not known.
I have scored 493.50 marks
out of 900 in mains and 90 marks out of 120 in interview totaling 583.50 out of
1020 marks.
My
advice to all my friends who are aspiring for competitive exams based on my
experience are:
·
Be focused in what you are
aiming
·
Prepare in depth to get a
wider knowledge about the topic
·
Make maximum use of Internet
to keep yourselves updated

·
Approach the exam in a cool
manner and complete the exam papers which is the tool to crack the mains
·
Concentrate on maths based on
the syllabus which will help in both prelims and mains
