Chairperson
  • Remove your mask and make yourself fully comfortable and let me know when you’re good to go.
  • So, you’ve worked in GS and are working at Ola. Is that correct?
    • What do you think about these cab aggregators like Uber and Ola?
    • They don’t own any cars & still make a profit. What do you have to say to that?
  • Tell me some psychological impacts of Covid-19.
Member 1
  • Name the left bank tributaries of the river Ganges.
    • What is the impact of these rivers on Bihar?
    • So, if you’ve mentioned Kosi or Saptakosi, tell me why it is called the sorrow of Bihar.
    • What are the methods you’ll take to control flooding in Bihar that have yet not been taken?
    • What if I say that the water from floods can also be used as assets? What would be your take on that?
Member 2
  • What have you been doing for the past 3 years?
    • Tell me, what accountability does Uber/Ola have towards customers when drivers cancel the confirmed ride from their end?
    • What if the driver does not want to go to a specific location?
    • What is the concept of surge pricing?
    • How did you implement that at Ola? And is there any limit on how much you can surge?
  • What is a narcissist personality? Since you watch psychological thrillers, you must be familiar with it.
    • Tell me something more about it.
Member 3
  • What is Shang-a-Lang? (No clue there, no clue here, I told her to repeat the question but I still don’t know what word was that – the only question I straightaway rejected)
  • You seem to be very good at Psychology, tell me why you didn’t pursue becoming a counsellor and why you opted for Civil services.
  • Tell me about the drug addiction in India, why is it increasing with time?
    • Elaborate a few solutions from your end.
  • You’ve been in Ola, so you might be knowing a bit about transport. Are metros a viable public transport option and are they a feasible option in Indian cities right now?
    • But DTC buses carry more passengers on a daily basis as compared to the Delhi metro, what’s your take on that?
Member 4
  • You were in Guwahati. What all the places you visited in the Northeast during that period?
    • Why didn’t you visit Arunachal Pradesh?
    • Tell me your experience of Kaziranga National Park – first as a tourist then as an administrator.
    • What would happen if Kaziranga NP is open for the whole year instead of just 6 months? Positive and Negative.
  • You studied Sanskrit till class 10th, so why did you all of a sudden choose Painting in class 12th. 
    • What did you study during those 2 years?
  • Do you still paint?
    • You seem to be a very focused person. Is that so?
  • How would you design something using your knowledge of Computer Science so that when tourists want to visit a particular place in India, they can easily purchase tickets for it online?
    • You explained the whole ecosystem, and told me about a particular thing related to money, how would the government get money?
