The interview test is not intended to be a test either of the specialised or general knowledge of the candidates which has been already tested through their written papers. Candidates are expected to have taken an intelligent interest not only in their special subjects of academic study but also in the events which are happening around them both within and outside Manipur or the Country as well as in modern currents of thought and in new discoveries which should arouse the curiosity of well educated youths
