Hi
Shwetamed,
you’re typically given 3-4 weeks to complete both interviews, and your interviewers are aware of this deadline. When you receive the email with their names and contact information, they also get an email informing them that you’ll be reaching out. That email specifies the deadline as well.
That said, the deadline isn’t set in stone. Occasionally, interviewers may reply late and decline the interview. In such cases, your AO will pair you with new interviewers. If this happens close to the deadline, your AO can extend it to ensure there’s enough time.
If I were you, I’d schedule your travel at your convenience. Interviews can be conducted virtually anyway. However, if you strongly prefer in-person interviews, be sure to mention your preference and travel plans when contacting your interviewers. Many interviewers will try their best to accommodate this.
I hope this helps.
Warm regards,
Alex

Hey. Which admission consultant is good for INSEAD interview prep? Applicants who have used someone and found it particularly helpful, please suggest.

For future candidates, below was my timeline for reference
• 10 Sep: Application submission + INSEAD R1 Deadline For Complete application
• 12 Sep: KIRA (I submitted everything few hours before deadline - strong urge to keep double-checking for any errors)
• 3 Oct: my interview shortlist notification
• 8 Oct: Interviewer names communicated
• 11 Oct: INSEAD’s R1 Interview Decision notification
• 13 Nov: I got admitted
• 15 Nov: INSEAD’s Final decision notification
Thanks a lot for the info. Can you please tell how much time do you get to schedule the 2 interviews in case you get shortlisted for interview. I am asking because I have to schedule some travelling.
