That’s just a video interview. You will have another interview.

Yes, exactly this one.

How do you prepare for them - Just like how you would for any job interview or to write impromptu essays.

Jot down the points and then establish the top 3 points to speak about and elaborate. Follow the STAR method.

https://www.caseinterview.com/star-method

My two suggestions:
1. Make sure your story is aligned in your resume, essay and these questions
2. Be yourself.

Many Indian applicants from EA have received interview invites. Not to discourage you but it is possible that you will be waitlisted/rejected if you have not received invites until now.

It doesn’t look like enough Indians got interview invites compared to the last few years. I may be wrong. Anyway, if you haven’t got interview it’s time to move on. I’m chalking this up to a reject. Just odd since I got waitlisted last year.
