DP Viva

DP can ask me to prioritize their position in performance; why does he ask this question? Does he want to know if I am taking groupmates as a part of my competition or teamwork?

He asks this question to know how good your judgment skills are. A leader should know how his subordinates are and also what his own shortcomings are.

Should I talk to the point or also give him some extra information so that I can prove my words are genuine?

Powered by Froala Editor

Provide extra information in case of subjects that involve your biodata information. Any response outside that should be to the point.

What kinds of situational questions may he ask?

Situational questions may be in various forms. Some examples can be as the following:

1. What would you do if I gave you 1 lakh tk right now.

2. Suppose you are walking by a river and you notice someone struggling in water, how would you respond?

3. Suppose you are somewhere outside and you check your pockets to find out you lost your phone/wallet, what do you do now.

I have a girlfriend now, should I share about her, and if I do, where should I put a full stop in the discussion?

Powered by Froala Editor

When D.P asks, reply that you do have a girlfriend. You can respond freely about the length and depth of your relationship. The full stop comes when D.P asks if you guys ever had sex. That is when you say no sir, we only held hands and sometimes kissed. 

Remember, you should share only what the D.P asks you to. Do not provide any extra information on your own.

How should I interact with DP, should I also greet him on my welcoming as he does?

Check whether the door says ‘Push’ or ‘Pull’. If there is nothing written then knock on the door and wait for permission. Before entering, give Salam and ask if you may go in. Once you’re inside, stand straight beside the chair and when provided permission, sit down without making any sound. Your footsteps must also make minimal sound or no sound if possible.


He may welcome you by saying Hello Amzad. I hope you are having a great time at ISSB. Your reply should be“Yes sir I’m enjoying being here with my beloved team members, hope you’re also having a great time.”

Afterwards continue the conversation in a sober manner. It is very important to note that you must maintain proper eye contact at all times.

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.

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 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.

If I take other drugs, that means I’m already way out of my Green card, right?

Powered by Froala Editor

Substance abuse other than nicotine is highly frowned upon and greatly affects your marks in ISSB.

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

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.

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.
