– Your experience in interview- board was cordial, no mask no shield (  intro by sir on the same lines, to stay calm and accept anything you dont know). Nothing specifically from daf.

– Utility of mocks (if any)- benefits in managing nerves, greetings, staying calm…. questions quite different in original interview, but 4-5 can be given.

we are done, you want to say something?

so I asked permission to speak about local cuisine of Ahmednagar and its part in tourism development. Told them that everyone visits temples but are not aware of these places. Requested them if they visit Shirdi someday please visit those food joints(Hurda Party) .it helps to boost farmer’s income and will be a nice experience for them as well.

Chairman : We keep learning about new things from young people like you, thank you, we shall visit.

Over.

No idea how it went, but questions were very random. Only convergence was maharashtra related and sociology, that too society part.

( thank you transcripts team, your work has made our life easy as well, reading transcripts does help
