My Name Is Mehraj Ali, Hailing From New Delhi And A Mechanical Engineer. I Completed My B.Tech In Mechanical Engineering In The Year 2015. My First Attempt Was On January 2016 In Indian Coast Guard, Pilot Itself. Unfortunately Got Conferenced Out. I Learned From My Mistakes, Prepared Well And Again Went Back To Try My Best In The June Attempt.
I Got My PSB Admit Card In The First Half Of June Itself And Cleared It And Started Waiting For Fsb List And Started Preparing. The C.G.S.B Uploaded the FSB List within A Week and I Was Enlisted In the Group A and The Date Of Reporting Was 3rdjuly 2016 At 1500hrs. It Was A Bright Sunday Afternoon, I Reported On Time At C.G.S.B, Noida With Luggage As This Time They Were Providing Mandatory Food And Lodging For The Entire Process.
On First Day We Were Made To Sit In The Examination Hall And Were Provided With The PIQ Forms And After That We Were allotted our Consecutive Groups And Were Given Rooms Along With Bedding And Everything. This was the first time the board was providing these facilities and everything was brand new and Packed When Given To us. I Got A Bed In The Varuna Block On The First Floor Which Is Just Above The Examination Hall.
****4th July****
The Very Next Day We Were Supposed To Report At 900hrs And Were Taken To The Seminar Hall For Psychology Test. Went Through TAT, WAT, SRT & SD In Sequence.
Pictures Were Very Normal And I Made Very Good Stories On Every Slide Including The Blank One Which Is The Most Important One.
“WAT” Was Again Very General One and I Attempted Them All.
Now Comes the SRT and I Could Do 40 Out Of 60.
I Concentrated On Quality Rather Than Quantity.
Now Comes The SELF DESCRIPTION. This Time I Did Not Prepare for it.
I Just Wrote Whatever Came In To My Mind Keeping In Mind To Project My Good Qualities As Much As I Could.
******5th July******
The Next Day My G.T.O Was Scheduled. I Performed Very Good In G.T.O, Should Say More Than I Expected. I Was Nominated To Narrate The Story.
In LECTURETTE There Were Many Different Topics with High and Low Difficulty Levels. I do not remember the other topics but The One I Chose Was “Status Of Women In India”. I Spoke Well In 3minutes.
Now I Was Free For Rest Of The Day.
*******6th July*******
Some Candidates Had There Interviews And Rest Were Sent To Their Rooms And Asked To Stay There Until Informed About The Next Day Schedule. We Were Given Liberty Time That Was From 1730hrs To 2100hrs.
I Was Free On That Day And As It Was Eid The Very Next Day So I Applied For One Day Leave To Go Home And Was Allowed.
I Took Permission From The Duty Staff Officer Who Are Very Humble And Helping, To Go Home That Day And Wrote Application For That And Was Given Permission To Visit Home On Condition To Return Back On 7th At 1200hrs As My Interview Was Scheduled That Day.
I Went Back Home And On 7th July Offered Eid Namaz Nearby My Home Only And Went Back Noida Right On Time.
At Around 1300hrs We Were Made To Sit In The Examination Hall To Wait For Our Interview Turns.
Now My Time Came For Interview, My Interview Went For Around 1.5hours And Trust Me I Did Not Even Notice It At The Time Of Interview.
The Interview Was Very Normal. Whereas The I.O Tried To Distract My Mind By Making Different Noises And Looking At The Watch Again And Again. But I Did Not Deviated My Mind As Well As My Posture Was Uniform The Whole Time.
It Was All About My PIQ. My Personal Life. We Talked About Me For 1.5times.There Were General Questions But I Couldn’t Answer Them All.
So The Interview Went fine. Not Soo Good.
*************************************8th July***********
This Was The Judgement Day, Yes The Conference Day. We Were Waiting For Our Turns In The Examination Hall Itself. Two People Were Made To Sit On Chairs Outside The Conference Hall While One Being Inside The Hall.
