ME: Answered
M1: Asked about my regional literature. I didn’t know. He started reciting a Bundelkhandi poem. Everyone laughed.
This was tricky for me as I am not well versed in my regional language. Somehow I managed to tell the main points of the scheme in it. At the end they all were laughing on my accent.
M1: Thanks. It was nice to see a girl from rural background and talking so much about literature with precision.
This is it. It went for 15 minutes. They all had smile on their face while I was leaving Female member was silent for the whole interview. Extremely supportive and friendly. It was more like a chit chat session. My take is just be honest and confident.
All the best for your Result !!!!!!!!!!
