Just had my interview yesterday. It was a pleasant conversation and the professor who interviewed me was kind and he listened intently. 30 minutes just flew by. Below are the questions that were asked.
1) Tell me about yourself
2) Why CJBS?
3) Why did you choose to go into your current business? (I'm an entrepreneur and I have my own business)
4) What happens to your business when you start the MBA program?
5) How would your employees characterize your leadership style?

After that, I asked him 3 questions about his college and the student life at CJBS.

Wishing everyone the best of luck with your interviews!

For this year honestly it’s pretty much zero, they rejected indians with 760 GMAT without even interviewing them in the last round.

A lot of Indians did get in in R1 and R2. I’m guessing that the school has fulfilled their diversity criteria, hence, R3 onwards Indian candidates are getting dinged unless they are truly exceptional

Hi everyone! I was wondering if anyone heard back regarding admission? I know Adcom said it can take up to 3 weeks but it seems like some members in the past heard as early as 4 days after their interviews.

I haven't heard back yet and my interview was end of Feb. I wonder if hearing back earlier means anything or if it's just random.

Maybe if they really want you they might contact you earlier, but it's mostly random I believe

Congrats! Great to hear. I didn't know they've started sending out offers already.

I just received an email from CJBS requesting a second interview with another faculty member! I didn’t even know they do that! My interview was in Feb 27

Has anyone else received a similar email?

I received the email that I need to meet the condition 1-3 by the initial deadline.
I am not sure about the rest, but I have a call with the admin team to clarify this.

Are you sure? I guess 1-3 conditions by deadline but 4-10 needs to be completed after that

Yes, conditions 1-3 need to be met before the offer deadline (basically that's mainly paying the deposit). The other are just other formalities (VISA, college application, etc) to officially enroll in the program. Conditions 4-10 can be completed anytime before the program starts (the sooner the better, especially for college application).

Did anybody received the contract? I received an offer email but no contract similar to what I received from Oxford.
