HOW TO PREPARE?
You may call it interview but the more appropri-
ate term is the personality test. This is the fi-
nal stage of the CAPF examination. This 150
marks (200 marks according to OLD pattern)
test, may not be of the qualifying nature, is very
crucial in putting your rank up or down the final
list. Therefore one should take this final step very
seriously.
The interview shouldn’t normally require any extra
preparation other than being aware of issues and
especially those related to one’s home state. De-
tailed Application Form is most important.
One should prepare his Bio-data, Home-state/
town, Socio-Economic-Political problems of In-
dia, options subjects and subjects of gradua-
tion/post-graduation, hobbies.
Personality Devel-
opment Programme
and some mock in-
terview sessions are
extremely helpful.
One should be pre-
pared on the infor-
mation mentioned in
the Detailed Applica-
tion Form DAF.
While facing the in-
terview Board, the
most important at-
tributes that count are : calmness and smile on
the face, natural tone and expression.
One needs to be honest and say sorry if not sure
about any fact.
Asked yourself why I wanted to join CPF? Why
did I leave a good career or job (If any)? Work
on your Bio-data and try to make as far away
question as possible.
The interview depends upon with what frame of
mind one appears before the Interview panel.
Be confident, Interview is not question-answer
session, in real sense it is purposeful conver-
sation. Speak freely during the interview.
Make short notes of all the current events in the
preceding six months.
Career Quest Institute for Interview Training, Delhi || PH: 09811299811, 09990840999
You have to concentrate on the following areas :
1) Background including education, family etc.
2) Home state/dist.
3) Subjects studied at graduation/PG level.
4) Hobbies & interests.
5) About India and World. (Social-Political- Eco-
nomic).
Frankly, speaking, it is impossible to improve your
personality with a week or fifteen days, whether
you study specially for it or not. But it is fact that
everyone taking the personality test prepares for
it rather diligently.
Personality test also means you have to dress
well in a formal outfit, but again there is no hard
& fast rule about it. It is very useful to join a good
Mock-Interview sessions.
We made out stand very clear on contentious
issues so that we might not be trapped in by the
board.
It is very important to
think about immediate
issues and problems
systematically and
give cogent and un-
ambiguous answers
during the interview,
and the essential re-
quirements for these
are familiarity with a
wide range of issues,
clarity of thought and
a systematic, though
not rigid, outlining of
the various features
and aspects in involved, together with atleast
some original, convincing arguments.
Excessive emphasis (like ready-made answers)
on coaching mars candidates easiness and
originality.
The interest/hobbies indicated should be genu-
ine.
Tensions and excitements have to be
channelised to a creative expression and ac-
commodative answers.
One should not be too rigid or too soft regarding
his/her opinions. It is better to be on the side of
flexibility rather than that of rigidity.
The Interview/Personality Test would be con-
ducted by a Board of competent and unbiased
persons who will have before them a record of
the candidates. The candidate will be asked
questions both in his/her own field as well as
matters of general interest to test his/her aware-
ness and understanding. In broad terms, this will
be an assessment of not only his/her mental cali-
bre but also his/her social traits and integrity of
character. The Board would broadly assess the
candidate inter-alia in the following :
(i) Physical Make-up
(a) Appearance (b) Bearing
(c) Manners and Mannerism
(ii) General Intelligence, Aptitude and Inter-
est
(a) Ability to perceive, analyse and present facts
and situation. (b) Work related aptitudes, like
discipline, empathy etc. (c) Extra-curricular ac-
tivities-participation in games, sports, debates
etc.
(iii) Disposition
(a) Leadership, drive, determination, quick de-
cision making etc. (b) Self-reliance. (c) Ability to
face stress and crisis. (d) Courage-moral and
physical.
interest.
The object of the interview is to assess the per-
sonal suitability of the candidate for a career in
public service by a Board of competent and un-
biased observers. The test is intended to judge
the mental calibre of a candidate.
In broad terms this is really an assessment of
not only his intellectual qualities but also social
traits and his interst in current affairs. Some of
the qualities to be judged are mental alertness,
critical powers of assimilation, clear and logical
exposition, balance of judgement, variety and
depth of interest, ability for social cohesion and
leadership, intellectual and moral integrity.
The technique of the interview is not that of a
strict cross-examination but of a natural, though
directed and purposive conversation which is
intended to reveal the mental qualities of the
candidate.
The interview test is not intended to be a test
either of the specialised or general knowledge
of the candidates which has been already tested
through their written papers.

(iv) Behavioural aspect of personality
(a) Inter-personal relations with superiors and
subordinates. (b) Commitment to values, integ-
rity, secular and national orientation.
Wish you all the best !
UPSC Approach

will have before them a record of his career. He
will be asked questions on matters of general
Candidates are expected to have taken an intel-
ligent interest not only in their special subjects
of academic study but also in the events which
are happening around them both within and out-
side their own state or country as well as in
modern currents of thought and in new discov-
eries which should rouse the curiosity of well
educated youth.

CAPF is organised
group A Central Service
The Supreme Court in Feb 2019 upheld the
judgement of the Delhi High Court granting the
status of organised group ‘A’ services to the
Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF) officers
and granting them Non Functional Financial
Upgradation (NFFU). In a landmark judgement
by Justices Rohinton Fali Nariman and M R
Shah, the court said
the CAPF officers–
from BSF, CRPF,
SSB, ITBP and CISF–
will now be granted the
NFFU and will be con-
sidered as organised
group A Central Ser-
vices.
NFFU is basically a
raise in salary and
perks of an officer if he
reaches a seniority
level that makes him
eligible for promotion but cannot be promoted
because of lack of vacancies. In simple terms,
NFFU will help an Assistant Commandant draw
the salary of a deputy commandant if he has
not been promoted despite reaching the required
seniority. It is available to all civil services–such
as the IAS, IPS, IRS and IFS– but had been de-
nied to paramilitary forces by the Home Ministry
on the ground that they do not fall in the cat-
egory of “organised services” . The judgement
will come as a huge relief to over 6000 officers
of the CAPFs which are beset with career stag-
nation due to lack of vacancies at higher levels
and IPS officers filling all top posts.
Delhi High Court judgement in 2015 said that
benefits contemplated by VIth Central Pay Com-
mission by way of NFFU to remove disparity be-
tween all India services and other organised
group ‘A’ services to be granted to the CAPF of-
ficers.
The denial of NFFU had been a cause of much
frustration among the officers many of who never
even reach the level of commandant in their
careers as posts of DIG and above were filled
by IPS officers on deputation. This was among
the reasons for high rate of attrition from the
Career Quest Institute for Interview Training, Delhi || PH: 09811299811, 09990840999
forces which work in far more trying circum-
stances than any other police or civil service.
Their demands had been opposed by both the
government and the IPS Association.
It was a concern flagged by SC in its judgement
as well. “In order to overcome the stagnation
problems, the 6th Pay Commission recom-
mended NFFU to all Group A Officers in various
Organised Group A Services. The purpose of
granting NFFU was to give relief to Group A Of-
ficers facing the prob-
lem of stagnation as
fallback option when
regular promotions do
not come into various
factors. It has come
on record that CPMFs
are facing huge prob-
lems of stagnation,
more particularly, on
one hand they are not
being granted the pro-
motions as most pro-
motional posts are
filled by deputation,
and, on the other
hand, they are denied NFFU.”
The SC brushed aside all objections by the gov-
ernment and IPS Association saying that in no
way this was going to affect the deputation of
IPS officers in the CAPFs. It also dismissed
petitions seeking permission to file a special
leave petition in the case saying the “permis-
sion is declined” . The judgement also recorded
how DoPT had once included the CAPFs into
organised services but government later made
a U turn. “It appears from the material on record
that right from 1986 onwards, in various Mono-
graphs CAPFs were included in the list of Group
“A” Central Civil Services. The Government took
‘U’ turn and a stand was taken that CAPFs are
not Organized Group “A” Central Services, ” the
order said.
A long standing argument of the home Ministry
in this matter has been that it could create a
command chaos in the forces as a second in
command earning the same salary as the com-
mandant would not listen to him. Force officers
have however argued that seniority in forces and
command structure is never governed by sal-
ary but the post.
This strange stand taken by the government was
also criticised by The High Court when it said
that NFFU was by its definition “non-functional”.
“The Government’s contention that NFFU can-
not be granted since the CAPFs comprise a strict
hierarchy with a well defined Command and
Control structure; that any interference with this
structure would be detrimental to the interest of
the forces and would adversely affect its opera-
tion and functioning; It was thus, claimed that all
posts in the CAPFs are functional and there is
no room for Non Functional posts, is untenable
because by very definition there is no interfer-
ence with functions, duties or the posts but only
an increase in the financial prospects, ” the High
Court order granting relief to CAPF officers had
said.
Describing the appeals made by the central gov-
ernment and the IPS Association, the apex court
said that even otherwise considering the fact that
by granting RPF (Railway Protection Force) as
an organised group A central services, the rights
of the IPS, if any for their appointment on depu-
tation on some posts in RPF cannot be said to
have been affected. It said merely because
some posts in the RPF might have been re-
quired to be filled in by way of deputation also,
grant of status of organised group ‘A’ central
services to RPF shall not affect the IPS. The
senior officers of the central armed police forces-
BSF, CRPF, CISF, ITBP and SSB will be con-
sidered for grant of NFFU.

Personal reasons main
cause for jawans quitting
paramilitary forces
Home ministry data show an alarming rise in
soldiers opting for voluntary retirement.
HIGHLIGHTS
In 2017, BSF saw the most number of person-
nel quitting followed by CRPF and CISF.
Among the top reasons are personal including
children and family issues, health.
Reasons not cited include tough working condi-
tions and outstation postings.
Latest data shared by Ministry of Home Affairs
show that a year 2017 saw a sharp increase in
voluntary retirements and resignations in para-
military forces known as the Central Armed Po-
lice Force (CAPF).
Career Quest Institute for Interview Training, Delhi || PH: 09811299811, 09990840999
Union Minister while informing the Lok Sabha
stated that 14,587 paramilitary soldiers had left
their jobs in 2017, compared to 3,425 force per-
sonnel in 2015.
Border Security Force (BSF) and Central Re-
serve Police Force (CRPF), in particular, have
seen the most outflow of personnel. The nodal
ministry, however, clarified that the reasons cited
by paramilitary personnel ranged from personal
and domestic issues including children and fam-
ily, health issues and illness of self or family.
Social and family obligations and commitments
to enjoying a civilian life and enhanced pension-
ary benefits on completion of 20 years of ser-
vice.
The ministry data presented to Lok Sabha indi-
cate that in 2015 more CRPF soldiers quit but
in 2017 more BSF soldiers were hanging their
boots. In 2015, the number of BSF personnel
who either voluntarily retired or resigned was 909
it shot up by more than seven times to 6,415 in
2017.
This also corresponds to the number of ceasefire
violations by Pakistan. However, sources say the
reason for quitting of soldiers is primarily per-
sonal and not professional reasons.
The largest paramiitary force -- Central Reserve
Police Force -- also saw the exit of 1,376 per-
sonnel in 2015 but number rose alarming to
5,123 in 2017. At No. 3 is Central Industrial Se-
curity force (CISF) with 768 soldiers from force
quitting in 2015 and 1,560 in 2017.
The lowest attrition rate according to Home Min-
istry is from Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP),
Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB) and Assam Rifles.
While 76 personnel quit or voluntarily retired from
ITBP in 2015, the number rose to 305 in 2017.
For SSB the numbers were 183 in 2015 and 548
in 2017, and for Assam Rifles 113 in 2015 and
636 in 2017.
Tough working conditions, outstation postings
and stress are some of the reasons which are
not cited by the ministry.

Pathalgadi Issue
Pathalgadi is a stir against Centre, state gov-
ernments. Pathalgadis reject government's
rights over forests and rivers. Over the last one
year, the Pathalgardi groups have been active
across four districts of Jharkhand - Khunti,
Gumla, Simdega and West Singhbhum. All are
Maoist-infested districts. (Source India Today)
Who are Pathalgadis?
Pathalgadi simply translates into the planting a
stone order. Stone plaques and signboards have
come up in over 200 villages of Jharkhand in
recent months. These stone orders dismiss the
authority of the central or the state governments
on their villages.
Usually placed at the entry points of tribal
villages, these stone plaques have provisions
of the Panchayats (Extension to Scheduled Ar-
eas) Act, 1996 or PESA written on them. These
are meant to serve as warnings to the outsid-
ers. The stone plaques and signboards also
contain "orders" prohibiting outsiders from en-
tering the tribal village.
They proclaim allegiance to the Consti-
tution but reject any authority except their gram
sabhas (village assemblies). They claim to be
the real "Bharat Sarkar" (the government of In-
dia). Their fight is aimed to reclaim their rights
over "jal, jangal and zameen (water, forest and
land)".
Pathalgadis have their presence in
Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Odisha and parts of
West Bengal and Madhya Pradesh.
Birsa Munda Connection
The Pathalgadis are most active in Khunti, the
district where tribal freedom fighter Birsa Munda
was born and took on the British might in 19th
century. The Pathalgadis held their biggest cer-
emony in Feb. 2019 at Kochang in the district.
The participants were armed with rifles
including AK-47. Curiously, the police did not
prevent the meeting despite having intelligence
inputs.
The Pathalgadis endorsed what was
achieved by the Birsa Munda movement - the
Chotanagpur Tenancy Act (CNT) in 1908. This
law prohibited the transfer of tribal land to non-
tribals while favouring community ownership.
The Santhal Parganas Tenancy Act (SPT) of
1949 maintained the same position.
What are specific demands of Pathalgadis?
Career Quest Institute for Interview Training, Delhi || PH: 09811299811, 09990840999
The leaders of Pathalgadi movement prepared
an 11-point charter of demands that they sent to
various authorities including President. The de-
mands of the Pathalgadis can be summarized
as:
The gram sabhas should get all the funds ear-
marked for the tribal sub-plan
The tribal people should not be branded as
naxals and sent to jail
Changes in the land acquisition laws should be
revoked
All police and paramilitary forces should be with-
drawn from the Scheduled Areas and their
camps dismantled
A separate education board - Adivasi Board - with
distinct syllabus should be created for tribal stu-
dents.
The Opium Angle
Jharkhand has emerged as one of the big cen-
tres of illegal opium cultivation in India. The po-
lice have attributed the recent challenge to law
and order by Pathalgadi supporters to a bunch
of opium cultivators.
According to police, the opium cultiva-
tors are instigating disillusioned tribal youths to
use them as a shield for their opium cultivation.
Jharkhand police have launched a drive to de-
stroy opium crops in the state.
The police have said that around 23,000
acres of opium cultivation have been destroyed
this year. Nearly 50 cases have been registered
in this connection.
Security agencies say that the Maoists
force tribal villagers to do opium cultivation to
raise funds. Opium cultivation and trade are ille-
gal in India except under certain conditions. But
the contraband has a big international market
and the Maoists, security agencies say, fund their
operations through illegal trade of opium.
More points:
The Pathalgadis call themselves the followers
of Sati Pati cult of Gujarat. Sati refers to mother
and Pati to father.
The cult claims that the tribals were given rights
over rivers, forest land and forest produce by
Queen Victoria.
Kunwar Keshri Sinh, the former leader of the
Sati Pati cult, gathered a huge number of fol-
lowers.
His son, Kunwar Ravindra Sinh is the current
leader of the cult that is hugely popular in and
around Tapi district of Gujarat.
The Pathalgadis have been distributing the cop-
ies of Heaven's Light Our Guide, a publication
associated with the Order of the Star of India.
It is an order of chivalry of the British empire that
was founded by Queen Victoria in 1861.
Scheduled Areas
The Scheduled Tribes live in contiguous areas
unlike other communities. It is, therefore, much
simpler to have area approach for development
activities and also regulatory provisions to pro-
tect their interests.
In order to protect the interests of the
Scheduled Tribes with regard to land alienation
and other social factors, provisions of “Fifth
Schedule” and “Sixth Schedule” have been en-
shrined in the Constitution.
The Fifth Schedule under Article 244 (1)
of the Constitution defines “Scheduled Areas”
as such areas as the President may by Order
declare to be Scheduled Areas after consulta-
tion with the Governor of that State.
The Sixth Schedule under article 244 (2)
of the Constitution relates to those areas in the
north east, which are declared as “tribal areas”,
and provides for a District or Regional Autono-
mous Councils for such areas. These councils
have wide ranging legislative, judicial and execu-
tive powers.
States having Fifth Schedule Areas
At present, 10 States namely Andhra Pradesh,
Chhattisgarh, Gujarat, Himachal Pradesh,
Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra,
Odisha, Rajasthan and Telangana have Fifth
Schedule Areas.
The Fifth Schedule of the Constitution
deals with the administration and control of
Scheduled Areas as well as of Scheduled Tribes
residing in any State other than the States of
Assam, Meghalaya, Tripura and Mizoram. Tribal
habitations in the states of Kerala, Tamil Nadu,
Karnataka, West Bengal, Uttar Pradesh and
Jammu & Kashmir have not been brought un-
der the Fifth or Sixth Schedule.
The advantage of Scheduled Area
The Governor of a State which has Scheduled
Areas is empowered to make regulations in re-
spect of the following:
Prohibit or restrict transfer of land from tribals;
Regulate the business of money lending to the
members of Scheduled Tribes. In making any
such regulation, the Governor may repeal or
amend any Act of Parliament to or of the Legis-
Career Quest Institute for Interview Training, Delhi || PH: 09811299811, 09990840999
lature of the State, which is applicable to the area
in question.
The Governor may by public notification
direct that any particular Act of Parliament or of
the Legislature of the State shall not apply to a
Scheduled Area or any part thereof in the State
or shall apply to such area subject to such ex-
ceptions and modifications as he may specify.
The Governor of a State having Sched-
uled Areas therein, shall annually, or whenever
so required by the President of India, make a
report to the President regarding the adminis-
tration of the Scheduled Areas in that State and
the executive power of the Union shall extend to
the giving of directions to the State as to the ad-
ministration of the said area.
Tribes Advisory Council [TAC] shall be
established in States having Scheduled Areas.
The TAC may also be established in any State
having Scheduled Tribes but not scheduled Ar-
eas on the direction of the President of India.
The TAC consists of not more than twenty mem-
bers of whom, as nearly as may be, three fourth
are from the representatives of Scheduled Tribes
in the Legislative Assembly of the State. The role
of TAC is to advice the State Government on
matters pertaining to the welfare and advance-
ment of the Scheduled Tribes in the State as
may be referred to it by the Governor.
The Panchayats (Extension to Scheduled
Areas) Act, 1996, which the provisions of
Panchayats, contained in Part IX of the Consti-
tution, were extended to Scheduled Areas, also
contains special provisions for the benefit of
Scheduled Tribes.

Google Review for Career Quest
I am Arushi Mishra. I have secured AIR 2 in
Indian forest services examination 2018. This
was my first interview and career quest was the
only institute I came to for my preparation. I had
joined the course for interview. Sanjeev sir did 3
things that worked wonders : Firstly, he started
from the basics that was helpful for a beginner
like me. Secondly, he not only did cover all the
topics but also developed the thought process
for tackling questions. Thirdly, the immensely
positive attitude of sir towards interview process
and student's strength made our group confi-
dant on our ability. The results were out and al-
most everyone in the group got through. I scored
189/300 in the interview and got selected. I would
strongly suggest the institute for any beginner
searching for direction, confidence and quality
driven interview sessions. Thank you!

Highest Interview Marks in
UPSC: Ayman Jamal - 206
Ayman Jamal secured AIR 499 in Civil Services
(IAS) Exam 2018. She attended ‘Complete Inter-
view Course’ at Career Quest. We congratulate her
for success & securing highest Interview marks in
CSE.
“I came to Career
Quest coaching first
time for my UPSC As-
sistant Labour Com-
missioner interview and
Kabeer Sir's guidance
helped me a lot.
I already had a very bad
experience of interview
when I appeared for my
NABARD grade B interview without any help from
any institute. I had many misconceptions, like
coachings are waste of money and time, also I had
many myths related to the whole idea of what inter-
views are about.
All these myths and misconceptions about inter-
view were cleared during the short span of 8 days
I spent doing classes here at Career Quest. It helped
me a lot. It helped me work on my personality, on
my attitude, on my vocabulary and on how to reply
even if I have to deny that I don’t know the answer.
I finally made it to the final list of ALC and Career
Quest has a big role to play in that. After this suc-
cess I again came to institute for my Bihar Public
Service (BPSC) interview (60th to 62nd) and again
it proved to be very beneficial for me. I got 85 marks
in personality test of BPSC out of 120 and I am
allotted revenue officer's post.
The third time I came to Career Quest and seek
Sanjeev Kabeer Sir's guidance was for my UPSC
Civil Services Exam (IAS) interview. My interview
was on 27th March 2019. I scored 206 marks in
UPSC CSE interview, which is the highest marks
given in the interview. I cleared the UPSC CSE
exam with 499th rank.
Kabeer Sir's guidance made me aware of what is
needed and what isn't required for an interview
preparation. I gained more confidence here. I am
really glad I came at CQ.”

“Career quest
has helped me
in the most cru-
cial phase of
my journey to
success-the
interview. I
joined CQ after
Civil Services
Main Exam-
2016.
The detailed
orientation regarding the different aspects of
interview-posture, timing, structuring the an-
swer, accepting your ignorance with grace
etc. gave me an in-depth idea regarding in-
terview preparation.
Though many people tell that interview is all
about luck, I feel there is a lot to be prepared
for interview. Unlike written exams, the inter-
view is a personality test rather than knowl-
edge test. So, it involves questions that you
may not be able to answer.
Here, Sanjeev Kabeer sir’s analogy of inter-
view to a cricket match is praiseworthy. There
will be some balls in which u have to just de-
fend the wicket, some in which you can hit a
six and even others which you can get a run
or two. It is all about understanding the na-
ture of the question and answering accord-
ingly.
Kabeer Sir’s vast experience in interview
guidance is worth noting because all other
coaching centres just let u take a mock, while
sir takes into consideration each and every
aspect of the interview. He helps us to pre-
pare for questions from our hobbies to home
state to cadre preference in a comprehen-
sive manner.
This helped me to refine my answers in the
final interview.
Thank you sir. I wish success to all aspirants
and am sure that CQ will help them just the
way it did for me.

FeedBack About Career Quest Interview
Classes by Swapnil Pawar,CAPF AC:
(As Shared on Email and WhatsApp)
Before joining Career Quest I was skeptical to
join it. Because I was feeling following the flock
of ship to one classroom in the market of
UPSC. I was further questioned by my con-
science.
I was in fear to lose my original personality in
the name of class with fabricated answers . But
With each class proceedings i came to realised
that I have chosen the right place where I can
learn how to answer and why to answer specifi-
cally instead of what to answer.
I believe that this is the right place one can get
your assessment in very precise Manner.
One will never get score below what sir has
allotted you in mock interview. the precise as-
sessment is very much necessary to improve
your performance ... strength-
ening your strong areas and
hiding your weak areas . many
interview coaching has multi
member interview panel....
which I thought weakness of
career quest.... but one mem-
ber panel in the career quest
is itself it's strength .
In total I appeared for two
mocks . first mock was blun-
der . sir gave me 74 marks
with some dose. this dose
became booster for me. I still remembers sir's
critique of mine after 1st interview...... "Why you
are giving chance to other aspirants though you
are much more competent than anyone else?
these words further boosted my confidence and
keep me away from inferiority complex.
"The thirst and the Quest of my career is
quenched by the precise assessment and mo-
tivation by sanjeev kabir sir". Thank you for be-
ing a part of my success.
Yours obediently
Swapnil Pawar, CAPF Rank 9
 FEEDBACK

“ Joining Career Quest for interview preparation for CPF (AC) Exam-2011, was one
of the important decisions of my life. I remember my first day at the institute, when I
met sir, and during the first meeting I realised that it was a correct decision to reach
Career Quest. Sir, made me feel relaxed and confident, during the course of my
preparation. The way he moulded my confidence in such a short span of time, was
tremendous, and it only showed his delivering skills.

Eventually, sir made me gain enough confidence which prepared me to face an interview at UPSC. The
mock interview sessions were also very useful in gaining fluency. While I left the classes after the course
was over, I continued with what sir had advised and went for the interview. And when I came out of the
UPSC after interview, I then realised the completeness with which sir had guided me and how all that
fructified after a good interview. I thank sir once again for all the support and patience which he showed
which resulted in my success. Thank You Sir!”
