UPPSC-J interview questions

Q- Do you like civil law or criminal law? 
A- I like criminal law. 

Q- Is it right to implement Uniform Civil Code or not?

Q- What is your opinion on the incident in Manipur? 
A- The shortcomings of the state government are apparent, and, in this case, the central government must step in to steer the situation in the right direction and bring peace in the state. Immediate steps must be taken to pacify and bring order in Manipur.

Q- What must the consequences be if a Muslim man marries a second wife while in a government job? 
A- According to the law, and the customs of the Islamic religion, a person can marry up to four times. However, I am not fully aware about its connection with a government job and the laws regarding it. I would need further understanding on the subject. 

Dream of becoming a judge

Jhanvi dreamed of becoming a Supreme court judge since her childhood. The quiet and encouraging environment at her home, helped her focus on her studies completely. 

Earlier, she had secured a role as an Assistant Prosecution Officer. But her ultimate ambition remained becoming a judge. Jhanvi says that it is utmost important to create a healthy environment around oneself. An optimistic mindset and clear goals are a sure way to success. 

Success of Jhanvi’s friend Nishi Gupta

Jhanvi shares an example of her friend, Nishi Gupta. Nishi was disheartened after failing her interview at the Rajasthan Judiciary exams. But without giving up, Nishi remained resilient and continued working towards her goal. She corrected her mistakes and changed her study methods. This helped her gain a comprehensive understanding of the whole situation. 

Jhanvi further mentions that the parents must not force their children to pursue certain goals. Children's dreams and desires must be understood, and they must be encouraged to pursue their personal ambitions. Overwhelming the students about their studies will not result in any fruitful results. 

The times change, and students evolve, and it is only natural to experience a change in one’s mindset; what one must remember is to keep moving forward despite all the difficulties.
