Campus Interview Questions of UES Navy

1. Tell me something about yourself.

Note: This is a very generic question in which you can say almost anything about yourself. Unfortunately
most interviewees use the opportunity to recount their bio-data lying in front of the interviewer. Prepare
yourself for such a question so that you can tell them those things that are not in the bio-data form, such as
your special traits, qualities, achievements, aspirations, motivations and ambitions. The interviewer will be
very impressed. Remember that a two sentence answer will make the interviewer feel that there is so little to
know about you. You should be able to say a lot with out being verbose or self-opinionated. You can take full
control of the interview based on the answer you give him. Giving false claims will put you in trouble, so try to
prepare in advance for the follow up questions that will come as a result of your narration about you.

28. Your strength and weakness.

Note: This is a question that has stumped a number of interviewees. It is ascertained to know how much you
know about yourself. A person who knows oneself in life is more effective in life. However many candidates
find it very difficult to verbalise their strengths and weaknesses. Some may have not given thought to it;
others shy away from the fear of blowing their own trumpet. It is easy to verbalise strength but it is very
difficult to articulate weaknesses. Candidates should try to give weaknesses that will not jeopardize their
chances in the interview. However interviewers view statements of weaknesses as being very normal,
disarming, sincere and honest. Remember to go to your next interview having thought well in advance what
your strengths and weaknesses are. Weakness like poor spoken english, smoking, adamant, very sporty, etc
which will not affect your profession as well as which can be easily improved must be told as your weakness
to the interviewing officer. The above mentioned weakness areas are only some examples and you may find
some more / more suitable weakness areas as per your personality !!!!!

What Indian Navy Employees Are Saying : Former Employee - Captain in

Visakhapatnam

Pros

I loved the adventure, professionalism and leadership opportunities that the Indian
Navy offered to me. It has put me a cut above the rest in the corporate world. Now that
I have worked in both the arenas, I value what the training and opportunities that the
services have bestowed on me

Cons

You must have a love for adventure, you must be ready to sacrifice on family life with
being transferred at times at short notice across the country. You must be ready to live
out of boxes and move houses four to five times in a city before the next transfer out of
the city. The Indian Navy is only for the strong hearted and not the weaklings.

58. What did you learn from your hostel life?

Ans. Lifelong connections, Free advice, Opportunities, Time management, Independence

and freedom, Experience and Exposure

Explain:

Lifelong connections
I dont care about the cleanliness of the hostel or whether the Wi-Fi connection works
or not, what I care about most is the connections and friends you make inside. Youll
find all sorts of amazing people who wont let you feel homesick.

Free advice
One thing you will find in every hostel you stay in is free advice. There is always a
friend who is willing to help you out with the weirdest of questions you have.

Opportunities
You are allowed to go about exploring numerous fields that you have never set out
before, in a new place among new people. You get to take up numerous open doors
that you cant take being at home.

Time management
Whether you excel at any other thing or not, managing time is a sure shot. From the
gossip sessions and all other sorts of activities that you are required to do in a hostel,
you learn to manage some time to study.

Independence and freedom

Independence is something that most of us barely get at home. In a hostel, you are
accountable for everything from getting up in the morning, to having meals, to washing
clothes and what not. Hostel life gives the flexibility to fly in the open and seek things
you couldnt pursue when at home.

Experience and Exposure

When you go out of your home to live in a hostel you really take in a great deal of new
things, in particular, making new friends, adjusting to a whole new environment , doing
things on your own, taking initiatives and living with freedom. Experience comes with
time, from the issues, distress, frustration and heartbreaks.

59. What is RS232 & RS432?

peripherals. The standards specify the cable type and connector configurations. "RS"
stands for "Recommended Standard."
