Hi All,

I got an email invite for interview asking to schedule my interview. I have selected Tuesday (24-Sept). Can anyone help me with past year's questions or interview tips?

Quick response would be highly appreciated.

I am planning to apply to MBS Round 2 and the deadline for the same is 31st December 2019. My query is whether I can take the GMAT exam after the deadline or not. I am not sure about it and the university is closed for holidays.

I got my interview invite at around 3AM (IST) this morning. Not sure if they're sending them out in batches or at once.

Sorry to hear about that. Hope you're able to turn it into an admit.
Good luck!
