On the 4th day of TISS Interview, we talked to one of the candidates of Development Studies and got to know his interview experience.
With three panelists to evaluate, his first extempore topic was “True meaning of secularism”, but as he was not comfortable with this topic, he asked for another one and then got “Role of women in economic development”. He said that they were understanding as they allowed him to switch the topics after giving the second one.
His interview questions are as follows: –
- As you are from chemistry background, why do you want to switch to development studies?
- Many questions related to DAF?
- Apart from gender disparity, what other inequalities women face?
- Question related to caste and class.
His interview was for about 30 minutes.
