okay as you have mentioned that you have completed your BSE degree.I am also from that profession.usually in governmental jobs the interviewer usually asked questions related to the field so if you had a great skills in coding and related subjects,then i think you don't need to be worry about it.In government sections some of the questions were regarding general knowledge ,mathematics & situation based,just to check your IQ as well as your confidence level but don't need to be worry about them .Stay calm & only give the answers of those questions that you perfectly know.& for the answers you don't know simply say 'sorry sir'.General knowledge is a vast subject so it is impossible for the individual to memorize all of them.Just believe in yourself .and prevent to give double minded statements.your statements should be sharp and to the point.Maintain your confidence level throughout the interview & the last and the most important thing believe in yourself

In my opinion the most important things are:
Try to answer what the interviewer asked, don't deflect to other topics, if you don't know say you that don't know instead of bullshitting and then tell how you would attack you not-knowing. In my interviews I put in usually one or two questions which seriously exceed the applicant knowledge and sometimes pose unsolvable or open research questions to see how straight the applicant is, so don't get nervous if you cant answer.
Focus on what you are good at in writing your CV, don't put in things which you only did for a few weeks. Do not use a one-to five star rating system of your skills, but declare years and nature of experience. Make sure that you read the job description and go trough the points which are specifically mentioned there.

Why did you mention the thing about stars? It might be a bad way to describe complex skills, but suits well some purposes, e.g. languages. Especially given that it's advisable not to have a 10-page CV.

I mentioned because it a very ambiguous scale. The skills which people give themselves 5 stars for are vastly different, and could lead to bein asked unfair questions
