Some personal observations for interview :
- Board was very cordial and warm.
- Smita mam has a nice smile, so one will not feel pressure.
- Be confident and calm ( I know you have heard it million times from every tom dick and harry. Yet it is still the basic mantra to face interviews)
- Try to build a conversation and enjoy talking to them. Only then will you be able to perform at your best.
- Remember your greatness cannot be defined by just an exam. If you deserve it you will get it. Don't be overwhelmed by the interview scenario.
- Smile but don't overdo it as it is a formal conversation.
- PRAY it may not be for asking God to help you but just to increase your spiritual calmness, as it gets reflected in your attitude.
