Interview experience at MNIT

Overview

The college interview is conducted during the admissions and application process at various levels. You might also be asked to appear in a video interview.

How to Prepare:

Firstly, you need to find out if you have been selected for an interview if it's optional or not offered at all. If you’ve been shortlisted for an interview, go to the college’s site or reach out to someone in our college’s admission office to find out what you must do to set an interview up. If you have to travel to the college for an interview, you may also want to schedule a campus tour ahead of time for the same trip. After reaching for the scheduled interview, you can do several things to prepare. One important thing is to research and know about the college so you are ready to talk about why this college is a good fit for you.

The employer must also indicate that the candidate will not be withdrawn mid-way till the completion of the course.

Usually, the interviews do not last more than an hour, though they can vary from 30 minutes to two hours depending on the candidate’s competency. Before meeting with your EC, try to anticipate some of the questions that you might be asked and brainstorm the answers. Talk with family and friends about their experiences of interviews, or read the college’s blog entries about past interviews. Telling stories and providing examples will give your interviewer a sense of your aspirations and passions. MNIT interviews are not usually done as formal affairs. You do not need to dress up for your interview. Finally, the truest thing for all parts of the application process is, just be yourself!
