Why would anyone from India call your references? Are you based in India? Have you worked in India before? All 3rd parties contracted were 100% British and called from within London even.
bit niche but do they check about society roles? like being treasurer at a society or something?
I have never heard or seen that, unless you disclose that role on your CV, tell them about it specifically (ie as an achievement or extra curricular) or unless there are new forms where roles are requested to explore traits regarding character & fitness, trust.
Unlikely?
will they still check if i were to put it on my CV? how would they check?
