Oxford University asks for an interview for some programs from eligible candidates. They must appear for 2-3 interviews before starting their course at the university. In interviews, subject experts simulate a mini tutorial to analyze whether students can think, analyze, and apply knowledge. Students can easily crack Oxford interviews if they take care of the following things:
- Review the personal statement and be ready to answer questions based on the statement
- Practice thinking while solving unfamiliar problems or materials
- Take mock interviews as much as possible
- Read articles, essays, and listen to podcasts to be aware of things beyond

Indian students have chosen courses at University of Oxford according to the rankings globally, career opportunities offered and the overall academic excellence at the university. Some of the top ranked courses at Oxford include Law, Computer Sciences, Economics and Management, Medicine, Philosophy, Politics, Economics, Mathematics and Statistics, MBA, etc. Since the acceptance rate is too low, getting into these programs is quite tough for international students.

Oxford looks at your overall academic performance, especially predicted scores for final board exams. One low semester or a lower 10th grade score like 69 percent can be overlooked if you show strong recent performance like your 91 percent in 11th. They prefer students with high potential and subject strength, especially in the course you apply for. Strong entrance tests, reference letters, and a good personal statement also matter a lot.
