Ans. Sir, my name is KUNAL SHRIVASTAV. I belong to Patna, Bihar. I have completed
my secondary and senior secondary schooling in Patna under CBSE board. I
completed my B.Tech from Indian institute of Information technology Allahabad in
2011. Since my graduation I have been preparing for various competitive
examinations including Engg services. My hobbies include solving Sudoku,
watching movies and writing spoof articles.
I have completed two projects during college. Firstly, an alarm clock and secondly,
a person counter. Besides, I have undergone summer training programme at
Vodafone where I learnt about GSM technology and this generated an interest
towards telecommunications technology. My favourite subjects are Control
Systems, Signals and Systems and Electromagnetic theory.
I am optimistic and industrious by nature. I am curious minded and willing to learn
new and exciting skills.
My short-term goal is responsible employment and long-term goal is satisfactory
service to the nation.
Q4.What is your strengths and weaknesses? And how do you know? What are the
parameters to assess ones strength and weakness?
Ans. Sir over the time I have recognised some of my strengths as:
1. I am result-oriented and believe in team spirit.
2. I learn things faster.
3. I am articulate.
4. I do not trust without verifying.
5. I am sure that my strengths will be of some use to the job I am applying for.
On the other hand, I assume following to be my weaknesses.
1.I am a little careless about personal belongings
2.I used to be more assertive than usual. But it has reduced since I have started pursuing my hobby of spoof
writing.
I know these are my strengths and weaknesses because either I have been told so by others whom I value and
some are felt by me in that way.
The parameters that can be used for assessing strengths and weaknesses are: Relevance, consistency and
confidence.
Q5. Why have you filled ITS first, Railways 2nd and 3rd?
Ans. I have exercised my choices eclectically. I.T.S is my first choice due to my
interest in mobile technology and because I see this sector growing by
leaps and bounds in the times to come. This sector has become the
hotspot of recent technological developments. With advent of
technologies like 3G, 4G and ubiquity of smart phones, I think the best
phase is yet to come. I believe that this is one technology which can really
connect people and thus, help us in accomplishing some key targets. For
example e-governance, reduction in crime rates, accountability and
others.
While Railways are my second choice because it is the biggest department
of GoaI and job is diversified. There is ample scope for modernisation in
the coming years. Career growth aspects are better and working for
railways is a proud feeling.
An officer who has been appointed under the seal of the governor of the state or
President of India, requires to be listed in the Indian Gazette or the State
Government Gazette is considered a Gazetted officer. They have the power to
verify documents for academic or immigration purposes. More responsibilities and
authority is vested but no difference in salary. Following are the groups:
Group A or Class 1 (Gazetted)
Group B or Class 2 (Gazetted and Non-Gazetted)
Group C or Class 3 (Non-Gazetted)
Group D or Class 4 (Non-Gazetted)
But after 6th pay commission, Class 3 and 4 have been merged.
But in states still we have 4 classes.
Ans. Sir, my hobbies are solving Sudoku, watching English and Hindi movies and
writing spoof articles.
Sudoku became a hobby when I met a friend of mine during the drop after B.Tech
and since then it has been a habit to solve them in morning as a starter for the day.
I have been watching movies since college. But I watch selected movies and with
some friend not alone. Movies intrigue me with their characters and unpredictable
plots.
Spoof writing has been my hobby since February this year. As I said I used to
monotonously overstress myself, so started to turn to internet getting some
laughter doses. I started to read satire news and spoof articles. Gradually, it
happened to me that I should give it a try an since then I have developed this as a
hobby. Writing spoof refreshes me and acts as a small laughter dose.
