So we will provide you detailed guide and common interview questions for ssc cgl interviews . So first we will look into some excerpts from an actual interview taken place at Staff Selection Commission, Lodhi Road,New Delhi for the post of scientific assistant dated June 2012. Amit kumar (B.Tech in Electronics Engineering, from Bikaner Rajasthan) walks int o room, he find that there were five persons, one of them was a lady, in middle was sitting the presi dent of the board. He stood by the chair, the president asked him to sit down. President said Amit, tell us about yourself? Amit started telling about himself in english. Quickly the president realized th at Amit was not comfortable with english language. He interrupted him and said aap Hindi mai bhi bol sakte ho, marks ki chinta mat karo, Hindi ya english se koi fark nhi padega . Amit then answered the rest in Hindi. Picking up from his answer, President asked him some questions on his hobbies an d interests. Amit answered accordingly. Then one other interviewer asked what is National River Linking Project in India ? He answered whatever he knew about it. some cross questions were also asked in-b etween. Then it was time of presidential election in India. So one board member said how is the President elected in india? what is the procedure? He answered but couldn t explain the system of proportional representation by mean s of a single transferable vote. Then the lady asked him a question of differential equations from Maths as he wa s an Engineering student. He said sorry Ma am i don t remember . So she herself began to explain it to him. After that two other interviewers asked him four technical questions from the su bject EMFT as he was there for a scientific assistant post. He could answer only two of them. President asked what is western disturbance ? he said sir, i dont know. some more questiions were asked before interview ended. It lasted around 20 minu tes. Analysis of this interview: By analyzing this interview we notice that first few questions are ice-breakers. These questions are about student s life so that he feels comfortable. Then some questions from current affairs to check his awareness on national issu es. Then some question from subjects of his Graduation. Few questions relating to the post(her e,scientific assistant). And some more miscellaneous questions. Keeping an eye on SSC CGL interviews, which we expect in December this year, it would be beneficial to have brief knowledge on these topicscreation of separate states (special focus on Telengana) assembly and Lok Shabha elections (impact of right to reject etc.)

status of women in india natural disasters and global warming (focus on Kedarnath, Uttarakhand) slowdown of Indian economy (how and why Rupee falls and gains etc.) India s foreign policy(in the context of Pakistan and china) Disqualification of politicians in elections who are punished by court. Golden Tip for interview of ssc cgl: Be confident: be confident in the interview, even when you don t know the answer. Say you don t know. don t feel disturbed. Interviewer doesn t expect that you will answer everythi ng. Make good impression: prepare for ice breaker questions like tell me about yourse lf . always remember first impression is the last impression.
