Totally disappointed with this book! Wasted my interview preparation! Does not motivate the students and neither does it argue in a positive way. There is nothing unique and students are just left with nothing!

[Amit Mishra · Rating 5 out of 5]

The book is a treatise from the basics to the advance of an IAS interview. From the sitting position to answering tough questions. I have never seen such a book that is sharply focused on the settings of the technicality of that particular exam. Simply the best in the field...

[Rahul Sikaria · Rating 1 out of 5]

Not there.... the book is nowhere near the expectations of the aspirants. It just rewrites what we already know! Avoid such books which deviate you.

I am not satisfied with my reading... the book actually messes with the minds of the aspirants and does not make things easier.

[Rahul Anand · Rating 5 out of 5]

As an aspirant of UPSC, I can feel it... when you get this book delivered and start reading it, you will find that the book actually communicates with the readers and it's in the perfect dialogue form instead of the popular way - the monologue. Readers can understand the basics, the advanced as well as the common mistakes that one makes during the extreme of the interview on that high pedestal. The authors have done very well and they have tried to make the readers (aspirants in this case) at home with the given conversations and the mock questions along with the templates on which the basic answers can be developed for the mocks...

I read this book when my elder brother bought it last month from the Kitab Mahal store in Patna. Just out of curiosity, I checked the content of the book and believe me - it's motivating enough for the readers to make them aware of the situation that an aspirant has to face inside the interview chamber... what a book man! Must have for every IAS aspirant!

[Ravi Kumar · Rating 4 out of 5]

Possibly the best book on IAS interview which is available in the market... the sections such as model interview sets and the mistakes that students make are very wonderfully created for the students to actually get a hold of the things... a very good book! Must have for the aspirants of the UPSC and most other higher competitive exams.

[Amit Kumar · Rating 4 out of 5]

The book is very very useful for the aspirants of UPSC. However, the publishers must work on the print quality of the book as it lacks the fine finish. The pages are not so sharp. The content of the book is very rich and useful. Full marks to the authors for this! Inspired by the toppers, I have also begun my interest in the IAS and it is so fantastic that I bought this book as early as this.

[Chitranjan Kumar · Rating 5 out of 5]

Very useful for IAS exams and the concept of the interview...

[Nilesh Ranjan · Rating 3 out of 5]

The content of the book is very well-written and systematically presented to the readers. Have no doubts about it! K. Siddhartha is an established name and he has done exceptionally well, as the aspirants might have expected. However, the publishers need to up their game a little and make the book a very viable edition. They need to upgrade the pages and the print quality. I have no complaints with the content in the book and I loved it! A must-have book for every civil services aspirant in the country...

[Sonakshi Sidhartha · Rating 1 out of 5]

Waste of time! Don't read this book. Go for physical experience rather than reading this. You can do mock tests and drill with your friends to score better.

[Ishu Kumar · Rating 4 out of 5]

An interview is really a crucial stage for an exam. Especially if it covers 75 marks then it should be given higher priority. And we all know the quality of an IAS interview. As an IAS aspirant, I covered many topics from different sections. But the book helped me a lot in my preparation. The best of this book is the elegance of telling the facts and busting some of the over-hyped myths about an interview.

[Ashish · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book gently describes the real life situation of an interview room. The build-up, middle stage, and answers to questions are described in the illustrated manner. It is pretty much beneficial for the aspirants to develop the conscience about the interview.

[Rupesh Singh · Rating 4 out of 5]

The best possible book for UPSC interview preparation... it does not only provide written content but also the motivation which is essential for preparations. I will recommend this book to everyone thinking about UPSC seriously.

[Jyoti Sinha · Rating 1 out of 5]

Not worth the money! The book is not even okay for the standards of UPSC!

[Avinash Singh · Rating 1 out of 5]

Very cheap print quality offered by the publishers. This is the second book I bought from Kitab Mahal but they cheated! The content is not very good as well.

[Sandesh · Rating 1 out of 5]

The book is more generic in tone and nature. It does not offer anything that I don't know as a UPSC aspirant. I would rather love to read some real interviews than reading this book. Predictable content and nothing else... You should rather follow proper websites which offer quality guidance on UPSC interviews.

[Saket Niranjan · Rating 1 out of 5]

The book has basic details which you can easily get in newspapers and magazines on a daily or weekly level. Please don't waste your time with this book. IAS interviews are far serious and you cannot spend your time with a mess like this.

[Ranjeet Sinha · Rating 1 out of 5]

I did not find this book any useful after spending 3 days reading it. This is just like a children book directing the kids do this or do that - ignore this or ignore that. I don't think this strategy will work in UPSC interview! Ignorable!

[Simran Sherya · Rating 1 out of 5]

Not good... I do regret my time invested in this book. Not for the serious UPSC candidates.

[Anivesh Sharma · Rating 1 out of 5]

The book is just a collection of newspaper articles on how to face IAS interview. I thought it to be something better but no! It's just that..

[Nishant Anirudh · Rating 1 out of 5]

Not so helpful for the serious aspirants... just pay your attention to something worthier than this book. You can focus on newspapers and magazines rather than reading such meaningless books.

[Ragunath · Rating 1 out of 5]

An average book! I expected something standard for the students who could clear the mains and reach the level of interview!

[M.P. · Rating 1 out of 5]

Not a good book! It creates a kind of panic in the minds of the readers who are UPSC aspirants! avoidable and ignorable. Check other books in the market.

[Sarita Manna · Rating 1 out of 5]

Usual content that you find mostly in the newspapers weekly... nothing new. Better try your time in the aspirant group and you may do better. You can find better books as well!
