SPM IAS Academy’s Interview Guidance Programme (IGP): Your Edge for the UPSC Personality Test 2025

The UPSC Mains 2024 result is about to be announced — and for thousands of aspirants across India, it will mark the beginning of the most crucial and defining stage of their journey: the UPSC Personality Test (Interview).

While the written stages of the exam test intellect and analytical skill, the interview stage tests who you truly are — your confidence, clarity, balance, empathy, and ability to think under pressure.

And that’s where the Interview Guidance Programme (IGP) of SPM IAS Academy, Guwahati, comes in — bridging the gap between knowledge and personality, preparation and performance, and ultimately, aspiration and achievement.

Why Should You Choose the Interview Guidance Programme of SPM IAS Academy?

One of the most compelling reasons to choose the Interview Guidance Programme of SPM IAS Academy is the unmatched real-life exposure it offers under the mentorship of some of India’s most respected and accomplished personalities.

Last year, the Mock Interview Board at SPM IAS Academy featured:

• Vijender Singh Chauhan

• Shri Deepak Vohra – Former Ambassador of India to Poland

• Shri S. Y. Quraishi – Retired IAS and 17th Chief Election Commissioner of India

• Along with other senior bureaucrats, retired officers, and experienced faculty

Their collective administrative experience and deep understanding of the UPSC Personality Test help aspirants understand the art of presenting themselves with composure, clarity, and conviction.

The programme focuses on:

Building confidence to face diverse interview panels

• Refining communication, tone, and body language

• Teaching aspirants to express opinions logically and respectfully

• Offering personalized DAF-based (Detailed Application Form) questions and feedback

Each mock session replicates the authentic environment of the Dholpur House, ensuring that candidates step into the real interview room fully prepared and poised.

Why This Stage — and This Programme — Matters

The UPSC interview is not about knowledge, but about personality, presence, and perspective. It’s the 275 marks that can make or break your final rank.

Even the most well-read aspirant can falter if unprepared for the subtle nuances of the personality test — the tone of questioning, the open-ended discussions, and the psychological undercurrent of each interaction.

That’s why Interview Guidance is not optional — it’s essential.

SPM IAS Academy’s IGP ensures that aspirants don’t just answer questions — they connect, convince, and communicate effectively under any circumstance.
