All questions were from his sets and as expected all rapid fire questions.
No time to think or recollect whatsoever. Begin your answers by quoting
the relevant Regulation or Resolution. Just keep talking. If you stop for a
split second, he moves on to next question. Answer confidently. No
questions by the Internal Surveyor.
As I wrote earlier Capt. Panigrahi is specific to his sets and so my
preparation was all around his sets only.
Somebody took the pain in compiling all the questions of different
surveyors and made these sets. Thanks to Prateek S. Chawathey for all
the efforts and posting these sets here on this group. I followed where
Prateek left and edited and updated these sets. To keep the ball rolling
someone has to do it after me, thats upto you guys who are active on the
group. so what if you failed, so what if the surveyor asked the same
"ghise pite" questions again, all you have to do is just post after your
orals. I came across a few such friends who came running to make copies
of the sets and never bothered posting after their orals ...thats sick....
C'MON !! JUST POST !!
I wish all the best of all of you.....beleive in yourself YOU CAN PULL IT
OFF !!
Thanks to all my ASM batchmates at MASSA ......including Abhijit
Kulkarni,Deepak Shinde , Navid Khan, Jed Frayne Fernandes, Naresh
Kumar Yadav, Mann Mahesh, Rahul Yadav, Santosh Dwivedi they all
were & are supportive n helpful.Thanks fellas!
