THE 275 ROOM · LIVE

Face The Board.

A full five-member UPSC panel. Live. Out loud. They read your DAF, they ask, they counter-question, they close with “Your interview is over.” Then an impartial scorecard out of 275 — marked the way the Commission marks.

First board free (one per candidate) · 15–30 minutes · real interruptible conversation · Chrome + mic

Chairperson

Opens the board, DAF sweep, sets the tone, closes your interview

Member 2

Your home state, district, schooling — roots and ground realities

Member 3

Academics, optional subject, career choices — the mind on paper

Member 4

Current affairs, economy, world affairs — awareness under pressure

Member 5

Hobbies three layers deep, situations, ethics — the person behind the DAF

The Verdict

Marks out of 275 on the seven qualities the UPSC notification itself names — with your best moment, your costliest moment, and three fixes.

How it runs: fill your DAF (2 minutes) → pay → the Chairperson greets you by name → members take the floor one by one, each in their own voice → counter-questions on what you actually said → the chair closes → your scorecard arrives in about a minute. Practice like the morning of the real thing.
