How the examiner performance could improve: 
By following the syllabus regulations for conducting the Speaking examination. She needed to introduce the candidate and inform him about the structure of the examination. The candidate should not have the prior knowledge / choice of the topics for the General conversation. The examiner’s voice was very quiet; at times it was difficult to hear her. Her own pronunciation was not always accurate. On at least two occasions she says अंदर (meaning inside) instead of अंतर (difference).

How the candidate performance could improve: 
The candidate needed to be better prepared for the Topic presentation, topic related Hindi vocabulary and grammatical structures.

Common mistakes and misconceptions:
Use of English vocabulary, errors in noun, adjective-verb agreement and limited ability to understand questions in Hindi to answer them fully.
