Asking the same related questions about porn to DP, will it prove me as characterless?

Powered by Froala Editor

Avoid asking the D.P any questions. But whatever the D.P asks, answering honestly will not hamper your image. 

Watching porn is a very common phenomenon among the young. They ask this question to check how aware you are about your desires and how you deal in life with such desires.

What if he feels I’m showing a guarded response?

Powered by Froala Editor

If D.P feels so, he usually will just note it down and not mention it to you. In case he does mention it, it means that he is granting you a second chance to be genuine. 

You should note that, if you are confident with your answer then it is not possible to detect guarded responses. What happen is sometimes candidate become too nervous and don't share even asked relevant questions which creates a awkward situation. and you're not letting know your DP about your situations. Then your viva may become short with DP.

Will he ask the maximum questions from Biodata?

Powered by Froala Editor

Yes, maximum questions will come from your biodata. It is highly recommended that you memorize every information you give in your biodata. Again, I repeat don't miss any information to memories written in Biodata.

How are your days going in ISSB?

Powered by Froala Editor

Alhamdulillah sir, I am having a very productive time here.

Powered by Froala Editor

How should my genuine response be with him?

Powered by Froala Editor

Your responses, at all times should be as honest as you can be with said responses. There is no wrong answer so speak with honesty and confidence and show the D.P that you are straightforward with your decisions and you do not falter under pressure.

Powered by Froala Editor

Can I directly ask him, "Sir, I have lots of demerits, but I will overcome these, will you give me the green card?"

Powered by Froala Editor

This shows over confidence, and should be avoided.

Powered by Froala Editor

Is there any limit to being open-minded?

Powered by Froala Editor

ISSB is all about being yourself. Express your own way of thought and your opinions about everything. As long as you are genuine, you are eligible. 

Powered by Froala Editor

Suppose he asked a question that needed to think about for a few minutes but I give him an answer like I've decided previously what to say on this question. Will it create negative impact on viva?

You've to answer naturally. If the question need time to calculate or a logic building planning can ask for few seconds for thinking. It's wise to deliver e smartest answer in such situation. But when the question is regarding yourself don't take time to answer. It will create a negative impact on you proving you're not genuine.  

Is sharing about watching porn negative, or should I avoid the 18+ discussion?

Powered by Froala Editor

However, if D.P asks, “How long have you been watching porn?” You should not go below grade 7 or 8. Sharing too much information is badly impacted your personality. Be precise answer what he asks only not much not less.

What if I gave you 5 thousand tk?

Powered by Froala Editor

Sir, I would save the money/ I would buy a new watch and save the rest/ I would fix my phone and change the rest. 

Try to be honest and confident about your answer.

What is a guarded response?

Powered by Froala Editor

A guarded response is when you withhold providing extended information in case of topics you do not want the conversation to trail to. Such as, if the D.P asks, “Do you have a girlfriend/boyfriend?” With this, a simple yes or no will do as an answer. There is no need to give any further information unless the D.P specifically asks you to. If the D.P asks, “How intimate were you with your girlfriend/boyfriend?” It is best to respond that you only held hands and sometimes would kiss. Even if you have an extended history, it should be avoided. Or if the D.P asks “When do you smoke?”. You should reply simply by stating that you smoke occasionally when you are out with friends. There is no need to provide any excess information other than that.

Remember, you will always be speaking truthfully, but in certain cases when you know your response might show a sign of severe misconduct, it is advised to withhold information.

Why does he ask about my WAT test and some other tasks? Does he study my performance from GTO notes before my arrival to DP sir's room for viva?

Powered by Froala Editor

Yes. The D.P will study your ISSB performance before you enter the Viva room.

Powered by Froala Editor

Which things are highly negative, and revealing these pieces of information may harm my personality?

The following may serve as damaging information to your character:

Substance abuse.

Sensitive information regarding your sex life.

Procrastination.

Genuinely, if I start to share my family issue or personal life issue, how can a green card save me from such a situation? In the end of the conversation, will he get convinced or will this show me as needy and unprofessional?

Powered by Froala Editor

Do not share any such information unless you are asked to. Even when you are asked, answer in a way so that it doesn’t show that you are desperate for the green card. 

Have a hopeful vibe to your response such as, what we are going through is tough but we shall overcome this in sha Allah.

Tell me about your jonmo, soisob,koishor,bere uthar somoy, totally tomar life nie?

Mention a story you remember from your childhood.But obviously please make sure you are a good story teller about yourself at least. This question has wide scope to share about you, This is an open ended question which has maximum privilege to share about your thoughts. 


Also remember, you are having a conversation and you may speak freely about your experiences in life. Be proud of your family and be grateful for the circumstances you grew up with.
