(Blog) Shubra Saxena on her interiew at UPSC 2008
Submitted by IASguru on Thu, 2009-07-02 12:02
CM: What's your name?
ME: Sir, My name is Shubhra Saxena
CM:Tell us about yourself
ME: I told them about my education, prof background, my family and so on.
CM:Can you tell us the immunisation schedule of children
(Now let me tell you v frankly that I was shocked and thrown off guard. Maybe he
wanted to destabilise me to see if I maintained my cool.)
ME:Sir, I am not aware of the immunisation schedule of children. But I do know
some vaccines for children.
CM: Fine, go ahead.
ME: There is DPT, that prevents Diptheria, Pertussis and Tetanus. And there is
OPV, Oral polio vaccine.
CM: Can't you recall any more?
ME:Sorry Sir, I can't recall any more.
CM:Isn't there a vaccine for Hepatitis B?
ME:Sir there is, But I think it can be taken as an adult because I had this
vaccine when I was in college.
CM: (Smiled) Yes but it is now given to children.
ME:I said, Thank you sir.
CM: Your hobbies include teaching. Can you tell us about that?
ME:Sir, I have liked teaching since childhood. I used to teach my younger
siblings and the children of my colony. Now I teach some children of my maid
servants. (I didn't mention teaching in coaching because people had advised me
against that)
CM:Tell us, who is a good teacher?
(I didn't understand the question but I nevertheless tried to answer.)
ME: A good teacher is the one who can conceptually explain topics to students.
Someone who can motivate students to do better. Someone who can be a friend,
philosopher and guide to students.
( He was apparently not satisfied with my answer.)
CM: No, tell me if you are teaching students in a class, how would you make sure
that they followed what you were teaching?
ME: Sir, I would first try to understand the level of cognitive maturity of
students. Then I would try to adjust the speed of teaching to suit most of the
students because at any level of teaching not all students would be satisfied. I
would include practical examples to make them understand the concepts better.
The students who have somehow not grasped the things I taught them, I would give
them time other than the class to make sure they understood it.
(he apparently was satisfied. So he let it go. He gestured to the 1st lady
member on his left)
M2: Your hobby is teaching. So can you tell me about a few education schemes of
GOI
ME: I told her about SSA. She inturrepted me.
M2: Can you tell us about SSA?
ME: I told her about a few provisions under SSA as I did not know all.
M2:Can you tell me if there are any provisions for handicapped children under
SSA.
ME:Ma'm I am not sure if there are any. But there mustbe.
M2:(Looks at other members) aren' there? (Others nod)
Tell me about other education schemes?
ME: I told about MSA, MDM, KGBV , scholarship schemes for disadvantaged and
backward students.
M2: (Interrupts)..That's fine. Your extra curricular activity said Debating. I
will give you a topic. Can you debate on that.
ME: Yes ma'm.
M2: The topic is "Women should empower themselves"
ME: Ma'm should I debate in favour or against the topic?
M2: Whichever way you want
ME: May I speak both in favour and against the topic?
(I was a little apprehensive if this gamble would pay off. But it did. She
didn't look offended.)
M2: Yes, go ahead.
ME:Argued first against the topic. Then later in favour of the topic.
M2:(looking very happy) Excellent Shubhra. You have argued well in both
directions. But you forgot to mention the role of husbands.
ME:(I smiled) yes Ma'm. Thank you.
She now passed the charge to the next lady member..
M2: So Shubhra, you have stayed in many states. Which state have you stayed
maximum in?
ME: Ma'm I have stayed for 16 years in Jharkhand and 12 years in UP and 2 years
in AP.
