The interview stage of the UPSC examination is commonly known as the Personality Test. This phase evaluates candidates beyond their academic knowledge, focusing on qualities like interpersonal skills, attitude, and overall personality. A panel of experienced members conducts the test, seeking insights into candidates’ values, motivations, and suitability for a career in civil service. This rigorous assessment helps in identifying individuals who can handle the responsibilities of public administration effectively. Candidates are encouraged to engage naturally with the panel, demonstrating their authenticity and readiness for the challenges of the civil service.
