Oral Test Tips for Central Government Jobs (001)

Interview questions are designed to checks your presence of mind, intelligent and ability to fit-in and contribute to the Jobs.

Self-confidence is extremely important in almost every aspect of our lives, yet so many people struggle to find it. Promise yourself, no matter how difficult the problem life throws at you, that you will try as hard as you can to help yourself. You acknowledge that sometimes your efforts to help yourself may not result in success, as often being properly rewarded is not in your control. Waking up in the morning, getting dressed well can make a person feel far more confident in their daily routine, and this newfound confidence radiates in any interaction. It takes time and practice, but will certainly work. A common approach to build confidence is good preparation. If you have to give a speech tomorrow, you would carefully prepare what you are going to say. You could reassure yourself, challenging your automatic negative thoughts. However, even though you have given speeches before, there are always going to be variables that you cannot eliminate or control.  The good news is that self-confidence really can be learned and built on. And, whether you’re working on your own self-confidence or building the confidence of people around you, it’s well-worth the effort!

Here we are give some of the most commonly asked questions to help you prepare for your interview:

1. Tell me about yourself: 

The most often asked question in interviews. You need to have a short statement prepared in your mind. Be careful that it does not sound rehearsed. Limit it to work-related items unless instructed otherwise. Talk about things you have done and jobs you have held that relate to the position you are interviewing for. Start with the item farthest back and work up to the present. 

2. What experience do you have in this field? 

Speak about specifics that relate to the position you are applying for. If you do not have specific experience, get as close as you can.

Railway Written Exams Model Question Paper & Answer (005)

1. Read the following passage carefully and then answer the following questions on the basis of what is stated or implied in the passage by choosing the best answer to each question out of given four options.

"On hearing the news of the massacre at Jallianwala Bagh, Udham Singh did not attend his school but took a train to Armritsar and visited the spot. There, he stood for several minutes in a trance, picked up the soil, rubbed it on his forehead and put some in a phial. He fasted that night. According to his family members he placed fresh flowers on the holy dust every morning, drawing inspiration from it. One early morning he went to the river Ravi and pledged that he would Colour its waters with the colour of his blood, to create what he called the freedom’s flood. With this aim in view in 1921, he first landed in Africa. From there he went to America to meet the Indian revolutionaries working for the liberation of the motherland. In 1923, he landed in England. In 1928, he returned to India in response to an urgent call from Bhagat Singh. When he reached Lahore, he was detained for violation of the Arms Act. He was released after four years rigorous imprisonment. In 1935, he escaped to Germany by giving a slip to the police. From Berlin, he reached Paris and purchased a revolver. He kept it ready for action and managed to reach London again. Opportunity came on March 13, 1940 when Sir Michael O’ Dwyer was to speak at a seminar in the Caxton Hall. As Sir Michael turned to resume his seat after the speech. Udham Singh pulled out his revolver and fired at him, Sir Michael died without a shriek.
