The interview stage of the UPSC examination, also known as the personality test, assesses candidates on multiple dimensions such as communication skills, presence of mind, and overall suitability for a career in civil services. This stage goes beyond academic knowledge, focusing instead on the candidate's personality traits, ethical principles, and ability to think critically and respond efficiently under pressure. Evaluators consider the candidate's background, experiences, and motivation for joining civil services, making it a crucial opportunity for aspirants to showcase their genuine intent and capabilities.
