A very common technique of trapping students in civil services interview is by making them buy a common counter-government narrative which is broadly available in media. Other trap questions to test the mental alertness of the student is to ask him multiple questions and see if he is answering all of them or not. Check his Optimism, 4-D thinking, Whether a candidate asking cross-question or not?
Check if the candidate is reading between the lines or not?
