Sample questions-

Tell us something about yourself

This is the most common and one of the first questions asked in any interview. Remember to be brief. Dont bore them with your long stories. Make sure you mention these aspects of your life:

Your educational and professional background
Your family
Your interest and passion

Why should I select you?

Your primary focus while answering this question should be that you are fit for the student profile they are looking for. Make them understand that youre hardworking, loyal and have an ability to handle stressful situations.

Why did you choose MBA as your career

Your answer should be depending on, whether youre a working professional or a recent graduate. Never make it look like you took it out of curiosity or boredom. Make sure to involve the right aspects of management in the modern world and how it will be a valuable addition to your career goals.

Where do you see yourself in 5 years

Make a note that this question is asked because the interviewer wants to know whether this job is a good fit for you or not. Try not to lie. An answer like In your seat is a very outdated and monotonous answer. Talk about your weaknesses and how your skills will help you master it with this job profile.

Do you have any regrets?

Answer it honestly. Even if your answer is no, try to make the outcome of the situation very positive. If your reply is yes, dont be overconfident about it. They want to know if you learned anything from your past and whether it reflects on your potential shortcomings in your life.

Your strength/weakness

Have you ever analyzed yourself? If not, now is the time to do a SWOT i.e. Strength, Weakness, Opportunity, and Threats. Make sure that your strength and weakness doesnt contradict each other. For e.g. if your strength is reading body language, your weakness shouldnt be being gullible. And also avoid the cliched tactics of presenting your strength as your weakness.

Why do you want to join this school?

Know about the institutions history; know about their placement records, its ranking and then how it has fascinated and inspired you and how your admission in that college will make one of your goals to come true. Research about their institute and ask their students who will be able to give you a valuable insight over colleges academic record and its extra-curricular activities and its flagships.

Do you have any questions for us?

Never say no. This would make you look like you didnt learn anything from this interview and you are not willing to ask them about their institutions history or anything about the academic profile. Dont ask them about its placement records and salary related inquiries. Your curiosity shouldnt be reflected as part of your greed.
