What are the different types of university interviews?
-
I applied to a data science program, and the page simply says that they'll conduct an interview in case I get shortlisted.
I don't know what it'll be about or what kind of questions they will ask.
Do you know what the different kinds of interviews they might take are? -
Hi Reena,
The university will most likely prompt you about the interview well in advance. However, I have also heard that sometimes, you only get 2 days to prepare.
There are a few common types of interviews universities take-- A recorded video interview - you will receive a pre-recorded set of questions on your screen, and you'll be allowed to take some seconds to prepare before answering each question
- Informal QnA sessions - several students will be called at the same time, and the mediator will judge you based on your preparedness, presentation, and communication skills
- One on one - this is the regular kind of interview that gets conducted over a telephone or Skype
- Some universities also conduct group sessions and case studies as part of their interview process
