Dhatri Reddy

 

Second UPSC interview - BB Vyas Sir as board chairman, afternoon slot. My interview was in pre-Covid days.  Score - 204. Chairman (BB Vyas): Difference between major and minor minerals. (He asked me this after looking at my DAF which mentioned my graduation as BTech in Metallurgy. Technically, question is related to mining, but board seldom understands those differences. I was prepared to answer such questions before hand as far as possible) Any change Govt brought regarding these. Do you know about recent Vizag BIMSTEC event? Why is BIMSTEC needed? Will ASEAN fade away? Coal sector - changes made by India. Can we highlight that point in road shows abroad (I had mentioned regarding allowing private sector mining, so he wanted me to clarify if foreign companies were also allowed through this question) Impact of coal mining (I asked for clarification if he has any specific aspect in mind, he replied impact on everything, answered accordingly) M1: What would you do if not civil services?
