We feel immense pleasure to be a part of his beautiful journey and once again we wish him all the very best for a bright future.
As we all know that UPSC CSE Mock Interviews are a great medium to understand the various dimensions of the Personality Test conducted by UPSC. These Mock Interviews not only familiarize the aspirants with the actual process of UPSC Interviews but also help in identifying the areas that a candidate needs to work upon. Even though one can imagine oneself in a UPSC Interview setting, it is strongly recommended that you watch these Mock Interviews and learn from the experiences of IAS toppers, so that you give your best shot when you reach the interview stage of examination.
We hope that this video of the UPSC IAS Mock Interview will help you understand the approach one should have to tackle the various kinds of questions asked by the panel members.

[@AmitTiwari-tr6my]

He is just exceptional, his knowledge about the subjects is so deep and way of delivering the answers is just amazing

[@ranarandhirsingh5604]

He is very Humble in real life as well 😄

[@ShivaKumar-tz6or]

Any knowledge is useless unless backed by suitable skills. The UPSC selection is a flawed process adopted from the colonial rule. Having expertise in such discussions is just nonsense in modern India

[@adityasinghrajput3505]

​@@ShivaKumar-tz6orthen choose your field and Excel there.... Sitting on bed and Criticizing Anything anyone is kind of trend nowdays!!!... History has proven.. Those who have blamed system...remain Unsuccessful in their respective field!!!!! Should they select you???.. And on what basis??..

[@krazykanpuriya]

The best mock interview I've seen so far. He's got a good command over his words and knows how to present information in the best, most expressive way possible. 👏🏼👏🏼 Not to mention the splendid personality he's got! I've been bedazzled.

[@bhavyashandilya1864]

His hard work is clearly visbible in the fact that he answered almost all questions of the panel with deep understanding.

[@harsh8499]

His level of Patience can be justified at 20:58, wherein even the fly could not distract him. At this moment anyone could have moved their hand rigorously but the way he avoided that part and focused more on the question was just admirable. Wow, what a level of dedication these chaps have.🤠

[@Edie_Mrigna]

Really inspiring. So happy for his success. 👑

[@ManishKumar-vp5gb]

Hats off to him 🫡, What a interview it was. The amount of knowledge and the clarity of the concept were amazing. Crisp to the point, fabulous literally no words to describe.

[@a4amitofficial]

Point to be remember that this mock is not of his 4th Attempt (2022),in which he got rank 18. This video was shot in the year 2021, for his 2nd attempt i.e 2020 in which he didn't selected or got recommended. But now he got rank 18,Drishti IAS uploaded this video to encash his popularity into their views.... Which shows the dark side of these interviews.

[@nandh2455]

How do you know this?

[@a4amitofficial]

@@nandh2455 2:09 his 2nd Attempt, go to Vision IAS topper's talk you will find his genuine interview in which he said this was his 4th attempt and he got AIR 18 in UPSC 2022. Drishti IAS fools us by editing the thumbnail and the graphics to mock interview 2022. There are some more proofs:- 1. Face Mask, COVID-19 vaccine and safe distance if this video is for UPSC 2022 then it must be shot on last year i.e 2023 and we all know in 2023 there is no compulsion for wearing mask. 2. See his hairs Density (i know this is weird but i noticed) in this video his hairs are thick but in his recent interviews his hairs are not that much thick, surely this was an old video.

[@nandh2455]

​​@@a4amitofficial Yes I agree. This doesn't feel useful as this was his 2nd attempt where he failed. A whole lot could've changed from this interview when he passed in the 4th attempt. Unfortunately we'll never know.

[@piyushjoshi2647]

Perfect interview, if this is the caliber of all IAS then India has a very bright future

[@saumyayadav5386]
