Hello Vineet,

Hope you are doing well.

The Civil Services Examination has three stages – Prelims, Mains and Interview (Personality Test.) The third stage which is the IAS Interview is a critical one where aspirants can be exposed to different questions from the UPSC panel.

So, while preparing your DAF ( Detailed application form) for your Interview round, you have to also fill details related to your extra-curricular activities and interests (hobbies) ,and it is very important for you to fill it honestly as the panel can ask you different questions on this.

You can surely mention Acting/ Theatre as your hobby and can expect questions as such from the board:

• What are the different forms of theatre?
• What do you know about the history of theatre in India?
• Which states in India have been traditional bastions of theatre?
• Know about NSD, Sangeet Natak Akademi, etc.
• Name a few eminent theatre personalities.
• What do you know about Bharata’s Natyashastra?
• What is the contribution of dramatics to the movie industry?

Hope this helps you. All the best!
