The personality test is the final stage of the UPSC Civil Services Exam, after the mains.
A board of members interviews you on your background, opinions, current affairs and the Detailed Application Form.
There is no fixed syllabus — the board tests awareness, balance of judgement and communication.
The interview carries fixed marks which are added to the mains score for the final merit.
Dress formally, stay calm, and answer honestly rather than guessing.
