He has achieved something great that  many of us didn't. But i agree with the panelist, talent wasted obviously.  

There is this inherent defect in public service. If you joined as a specialist you'd have no role in management, and if you joined as a bureacrat you won't have much scope to think and act like a subject expert. There is an abyss amidst.

Clearing upsc exam in India is an achievement only at personal level unless someone becomes the next T. N. Seshan (the man who single handedly reformed the Indian election system). This guy or Tina Dabi or the ....UPSC topper from early 1990s nobody will even remember them a few years later/once they retire. I have no issues with IIT/IIM toppers like this guy clearing UPSC exam but they shouldn't expect others to believe their "reasoning" for clearing this exam(aka to serve the nation/society).

That's why they "invented" start-up concept and now easy angel funding and platform to showcase ideas available... I seriously missed adequate recognition, support and funding during my graduation years, had no such concept of startups then, but was badly needed - had to be contented with whatever I could do myself.

P.S. I don't know if you know this but UPSC civil services exam now has a 250 marks "Ethics & Integrity" paper which supposedly tests how honest a candidate is & ask questions like "if you are a DM of a hilly district & flash flood happen & there are women children stranded in one place while sick ppl stranded in a hospital while undertrials are stranded in a jail & your state's chief secretary family stranded in another place & you have 1 helicopter then in which order you will evacuate" & the topper of this paper in 2016 was caught cheating in mains exam in 2017 as he was not satisfied with his IPS service & want to get IAS(I am not joking).

So, it seems the panelist is unhappy because the candidate picked PS & IE over EE as optional for mains* (Not that he decided to give up his designated career to become an IAS?). Since this guy is gold medalist, it wouldn't have been a tough task for him to crack UPSC even if he opted for it (Many mediocre students skip it because its tougher than others?) 

(02:11) Bad guidance from Friends and Seniors? Probably its a generic suggestion to opt for PS & IE and this one fell for it

I am hoping to keep this strictly on the topic so expect the same from you. I have some experience in this "UPSC field" & knew "toppers in civil/mech/elec from IITs" not choosing these subjects as their mains because of "relatively inherent much increased difficulty" because of upsc scaling in mains for tech stream subjects. It is not generic but rather very well established advice by now for engg students to opt for PS because it complements their GS prep & because the previous best option(aka Pub Ad) has fallen into obscurity after running down its course of decade long success.

Also he clearly learned his lesson from this mock interview & prepared an apparently very good "inspiring reason" to justify his "need" to clear UPSC exam despite his academic record as he scored highest in interview round along with another candidate.

He was Unemployed by choice, not Unemployed. Both are different things and so-called panelists failed to distinguish between them. Engineering in India is mostly either to grab placement or getting a 4-year duration time to find your passion. The guy was a prodigy or more hard-working than their classmates, which earned him a gold medal. He has the right to choose his career without any judgment from society.

The interviewer himself seems confused a bit. He earned three degrees in the Hindi language and now rather than contributing to Hindi literature he is more focused on conducting interviews par from his Educational Qualifications for private tuition classes.

About anchor/interviewer, hypocrites do exist and sometimes situation, job or society/family compulsion portrays you like that, nowhere to move and prove yourself different...

Both are right on their part. The guy choose a subject which helps him to score high marks. The panelist was fed up with majority students choosing the same easy subjects.
