Below are the Interview Questions, which were asked in HR Round…..No one will GET second chance to impress….Very very Impressive Questions and Answers….. …

Question 1:
You are driving along in your car on a wild, stormy night, it’s raining heavily, when suddenly you pass by a bus stop, and you see three people waiting for a bus:

* An old lady who looks as if she is about to die.
* An old friend who once saved your life.
* The perfect partner you have been dreaming about.

Which one would you choose to offer a ride to, knowing very well that
there could only be one passenger in your car? This is a moral/ethical dilemma that was once actually used as part of a job application.

He simply answered:
“I would give the car keys to my Old friend and let him take the lady to the hospital. I would stay behind and wait for the bus with the partner of my dreams.”
Sometimes, we gain more if we are able to give up our stubborn thought limitations. Never forget to “Think Outside of the Box.”

Question 2:                                                                                                                                                      What will you do if I run away with your sister?                                                                         The candidate who was selected answered ” I will not get a better match for my sister than you sir”

Question 3:Interviewer (to a student girl candidate) – What is one morning you woke up & found that you were pregnant.                                                                         Girl – I will be very excited and take an off, to celebrate with my husband.Normally an unmarried girl will be shocked to hear this, but she managed it well. Why I should think it in the wrong way, she said later when asked.

Question 4:
Interviewer: He ordered a cup of coffee for the candidate. Coffee arrived kept before the candidate, then he asked what is before you?
Candidate: Instantly replied “Tea”
He got selected.
You know how and why did he say “TEA” when he knows very well that coffee was kept before.
(Answer: The question was “What is before you (U – alphabet) Reply was “TEA” ( T – alphabet)
Alphabet “T” was before Alphabet “U”

Question 5:
Where Lord Rama would have celebrated his “First Diwali”?
People will start thinking of Ayodhya, Mithila [Janak’s place], Lanka
etc…
But the logic is, Diwali was a celebrated as a mark of Lord Krishna
Killing Narakasura. In Dusavataar, Krishnavathaar comes after
Raamavathaar.
So, Lord Rama would not have celebrated the Diwali At all!

Question6;
Interviewer said “I shall either ask you ten easy questions or one
really difficult question.

Think well before you make up your mind!” The boy thought for a
while and said, “my choice is one really difficult question.”

“Well, good luck to you, you have made your own choice! Now tell me
this. “What comes first, Day or Night?”

The boy was jolted into reality as his admission depends on the
correctness of his answer, but he thought for a while and
said, “It’s the DAY sir!”

Question 6(not from IAS)

(EXAMINATION BOARD 1987, ESSAY QUESTION)

 What is courage? (50 Marks)
Answer (After 7 blank pages, at the end of the last page…): This is courage
 
ha ha ha!..Actually all the answers was about creativity..

“How” the interviewer asked,

“Sorry sir, you promised me that you will not ask me a SECOND
difficult question!”

And hence, he was selected as because of his quick-wickedness. …….

This is What Interviewer expects from the Interviewee. …

So now you get a fair idea of the off the box things that you can expect in your interview. They are judging your confidence levels and your wit. They want to see if these situations make you uncomfortable or even nervous. They see if you have problem solving capabilities when faced with unexpected troubles. Sometimes the reason for asking these questions can be literally to check your sense of humor or creativity.funny right??

    I think there is a mistake in question 5 because diwali is celebrated in honour of lord Rama’s returning to Ayodhya with Sita maa after conquering Lanka and hunting Raavan.

    I create a comment when I like a article on a site or if I have
    something to contribute to the conversation. Usually it is
    caused by the sincerness communicated in the article I browsed.
    And after this article Funny questions asked by upsc(IAS) selection members during interview.
    | Just move on..!. I was actually excited enough to drop a thought :
    -) I actually do have 2 questions for you if it’s okay. Could it be simply me or does it seem like a few of the comments appear like they are written by brain dead folks? 😛 And, if you are writing on other social sites, I’d like
    to keep up with anything fresh you have to post. Would you make a list the complete urls of your community
    pages like your Facebook page, twitter feed, or linkedin profile?

    Is this the intellectual level of administrators who are going to manage the task of running a huge and diverse country? These questions and their “quick-wicked” (as the word is used in the article) like “t” comes before “u” are “profoundly stupid”. No wonder the standards of administration and education have fallen.
