In SSC CGL Interview plays very important for getting good rank. So its importance can’t be ignored and thus should be treated with most sincerity. In CGLE-2010 only 28% of the candidates who were called for the interview scored 60 or above; which shows how tough the interview stage is. The interview process runs from 15 minutes to 20 minutes generally and is conducted by a team of 4-5 members including the Chairman. Remember this board do not try to judge your general knowledge or any other subject matter specifically but its main purpose is to see how you respond to a particular query rather than what you answer. Therefore if you are unable to give an answer correctly it’s better to admit your ignorance. But it doesn't mean you take the things casually; it’s always in your favour if you answer the query correctly.

Marks in the interview may go upto 80 or even more; and as low as 25 or even further down. Now the question is who are those getting 70, 80 or higher marks. Of course they need not be brilliant in academics.
Questions in interview can be on any subject/topic that you have read in 12th standard, graduation & post-graduation. Therefore a candidate ordinary in bookish knowledge can score high marks in an interview.

• Question asked in SSC are mainly from what you have written in you Bio-data form. So prepare well as many question as possible from it.
• Questions on your graduation subject, hobbies are highly likely to be asked.
• Question like role of tax inspector and role of other post too can be asked.
• Question on recent person/event in news can also be asked.
