The UPSC interview process assesses a candidate's character and integrity through various evaluative criteria. Interviewers seek to understand decision-making abilities, ethical reasoning, and perspectives on important national and global issues. Candidates are often questioned about their personal beliefs, values, and past experiences, which reveal their authenticity and suitability for public service. Situational judgments and hypothetical scenarios assess their responses under pressure, highlighting their conflict resolution skills. This multifaceted approach helps ensure that selected candidates possess the moral compass and interpersonal skills necessary to navigate challenges in governance effectively.
