Member	Questionnaire
Chairperson	Pick one event that you think is significant in the history of East India Company (EIC) and explain why? Answered: Battle of Plassey and then he asked about the parties involved in the battle Why do you think the British emerged victorious among all European powers? What lessons and strategic insights can we draw from the EIC colonisation of India? Any Contemporary relevance of them?
Member-01	Explain your experience of working with the government (I worked with the Govt of AP). One broad question on how does the government function? Manipur Crisis: Do you think the Government was proactive in resolving the situation? What would you have done? If there is a call from higher authorities to slow down your approach, what would you do?
Member-02	Why is there no Noble prize in Mathematics? 2024 is the year of elections in the world. Tell me 4 countries where elections will happen. What is their significance for India? 1-2 more questions I don’t remember
Member-03	Started with the Russia-Ukraine War. Asked, don’t you think it is a paradox that Western Nations are supporting Ukraine and putting economic sanctions on Russia but also indirectly buying Russian oil and hence financing the war? Israel-Palestine War: Do you think Israel should stop the war? Yes/No. Give reasons. I said Israel should stop, and as I begin to give reasons. Members became a bit aggressive and hostile, and started interjecting and cross questioning without allowing me to speak. Chaubey sir had to intervene and he sort of summarised my arguments and we moved on.
Member-04	Public policy: What is public interest and what is public good. Haryana is my home state, and I have worked in Andhra Pradesh. Asked me to compare the administration and governance between the two. Is there anything that Haryana can learn from AP? While smiling brought back the discussion to the Israel-Palestine conflict and asked me to bring out 2 differences between Ukraine-Russia and the Israel-Palestine war. 1-2 questions he asked, not able to recall. Chairperson: You think we missed something important do tell us. Than said thank you may go now.
Overall Experience: The interview was a little bit random as the opening Question was from Modern history and many keywords from the DAF were not covered. Except for one member, the board was very cordial and allowed me time and space to complete my answers peacefully.
