I am so glad I stumbled upon this interview.. Dilip Sir is so articulate and I congratulate Drishti for bringing forth such a realistic representation of interview.

Dear viewer, We will definitely try to bring this to the notice of respected team members!

[@narutouzumaki966]

I have seen many mock interviews in Drishti and observed that board members never questions on North East issues to the candidates except very few. They would ask about bihar Or UP. This approach should be changed. Atleast one or two questions should be asked on North East issues so that candidates atleast have some information about NE issues.

[@michaelhasda7194]

Rightly said

[@manuranjan_deuri08]

Agree

[@bhanuprakashbapatla7122]

Firstly you will never know what the interviewer gonna ask that day..so obviously you have to prepare for NE as well.
