Statement: Should there be no place of interview in selection?
Arguments:
- Yes, it is very subjective in assessment.
- No. It is the only instrument to judge candidates' motives and personality.
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Clearly, besides interview, there can be other modes of written examination to judge candidates' motives. So argument II is not strong enough. However, the interview is a subjective assessment without doubt. So, argument I holds.

Conclusion
Argument I is strong to an extent, as subjectivity can influence interview outcomes, but it doesn't necessarily justify removing interviews altogether.
Argument II is weak because interviews are not the only way to judge motives and personality.
The correct answer:
Neither Argument I nor Argument II is fully strong.

Interview is a subjective assessment but there are certain parameters the candidate has to meet. Plus, removing it completely is illogical. It is a method for any candidate to display his/her uniqueness and also easier for the interviwer to make a decision.

I also agree to the first point. Only written tests can't show the ability, confidence, intelligency of candidates.

I am not agree this, because interview is the best way to judged any person personality.

I agree.
The personality of a particular candidate can not be determined by the words he writes but by the words he says. Confidence, command over a language, street smartness and capability to understand a situation and act in a limited time frame can only be determined if the candidate is put through an intensive interview.

I agree to the first point and Discussion is also valid. But Its not like its should be Removed from the selection process.
HRs who take interviews have their own expertise to choose the best among the good. Again the intellectual and personality of a candidate can only be determined by a one to one screening session, that we call interviews.
