IAS exam interview process

Candidates can read under the first-hand account of the UPSC IAS interview knowledge: 
Candidates start arriving at the venue a few times in hand after the exam, and the security in front of UPSC arranges them in a queue and conducts the preliminary checking (interview call letter and cross-check the identity of the applicant on their list). The carrying of any govt-issued identification is suggested.

They are expected to check-in their luggage and mobiles after the security ushers the applicants inside the UPSC's venerated gates; The applicants are then forced to sit in an entry hall where the records (education records, caste documents) are actually checked. Typically, it is a proper functioning, as well as the staff, is friendly and happy to support. There are also newspapers together with tea/water and biscuits for the applicants. Applicants will also be given a question to fill out.

When the papers are presented, the applicants are given the panel number and the order series number in which they must appear in front of the jury. For eg, a candidate may be told to appear until panel number 5, and for that panel, he/she will be entering in for that session as the 3rd person. They don't share the name of the chief executive of the committee at the time and it makes no sense to press for it.

Then, the sometimes obviously anxious applicants are led to a large circular hall at the center of the room. Here, depending on their panel number, the applicants are categorized and allowed to sit (all the people scheduled to speak before panel number 5 must sit in a group and so on). That is where a few team members discuss travel expenses for out-of-town applicants.
