    #4: Take mock IAS Interviews to get a good idea

  • Before attending the interview, apart from preparing, candidates must also practise for it thoroughly. They should practise mock IAS Interviews to prepare for the real one. They can take the help of their mentors and friends who can identify their strengths, weaknesses, and suggest improvements.
