For boards that interview in Hindi, or let you answer in it: UPSC, the Hindi-belt PSCs, bank panels, KVS/NVS and judicial services.
Interviews in Hindi
A large share of government interviews in India can be given in Hindi. The UPSC civil services personality test lets you choose the language of the interview, and candidates from Hindi-medium backgrounds regularly take it in Hindi. UPPSC, BPSC, MPPSC, RPSC, HPSC and UKPSC boards interview mostly in Hindi. Bank PO and clerk panels, KVS, NVS and other teacher boards, judicial services in UP, Rajasthan, MP and Bihar, and police SI boards all run in Hindi or let you answer in it, where the board allows.
An ExamPilot mock in Hindi runs the whole interview in Hindi: the panel asks in Hindi, keeps technical and subject terms in English where that is how they are taught, and follows up on your answers the way a Hindi-speaking board does. Pick Hinglish instead if your natural register is mixed. The report comes in English and scores content, structure and communication separately.
Prepare the way the board will test you: the DAF or application form, your optional subject, your district and state, current affairs in Hindi newspapers, and why you want the service. Say the answers out loud in Hindi — the words come out differently from how they read on paper.
Where the board allows
Rules change by notification and by panel; always check the current one for your post.
UPSC civil services personality test
Interview medium is your choice; Hindi is the most common choice after English, and the board has Hindi-speaking members.
State PSCs in the Hindi belt (UPPSC, BPSC, MPPSC, RPSC, HPSC, UKPSC)
Interviews are largely in Hindi, with English accepted; questions on the state and the district are expected in Hindi.
IBPS PO, SBI PO, RRB officer and clerk
Panels ask in Hindi or English and accept either; RRB interviews often prefer the state language.
KVS, NVS, AWES, EMRS and DSSSB teacher boards
Hindi or English for most posts; Hindi for Hindi and Sanskrit teacher posts, and demo lessons in the subject medium.
SSB and CAPF
Run in English, but interviewing officers generally allow Hindi where a candidate is more comfortable; psychology tests are in both.
Judicial services (UP PCS-J, RJS, MP, Bihar) and police SI boards
Hindi is the usual medium, with legal terms in English.
Most Indian candidates do not speak one language at a time. You can answer in Hindi, in English, or mix the two the way you would across the table — technical terms in English, the rest in Hindi — and the interviewer keeps up. Where a round assesses communication, the report notes it; otherwise nobody marks you down for switching.
If Hindi is the mix you actually speak, there is a dedicated Hinglish mode where the panel itself asks in Hindi-English.
