DeGroote KIRA Interview questions

DeGroote KIRA Interview questions

From Bitss

Kira has thousands of questions and there is no advantage to look for previous questions. Just be attentive and confident while answering anything they ask. Questions can be very random. Below are two I got :

If you have a chance to wake up anywhere you want one day, where would you?
If you were immortal, how old you would like to live.

From archieahhh

The questions which are there on this forum were the exact ones that I got.
And make sure everyone is aware that why they want to do MBA from Degroote.

Thank you. I have added these questions to the main post. How did you do on these questions?
_________________

I did pretty wel except for one question I was not able to finish my answer. Other than that for every question I had an example ready because I faced it during my work. So first of fall before giving Kira I had listed down each and every activity I have done in work and college. So that made easy to answer these questions.

Sounds great. You can have access to a pen and paper when you are answering the questions right? There are no restrictions on that, I believe?

I had similar video interview questions as you posted. My written question is about "describe a situation you have to weigh risks over benefits".

I submitted my application on 14th but still didn't receive any mail for KIRA interview. Any one else sailing same boat? What's the turn around time?

Posted from my mobile device

I submitted on 14th as well, but I receive the kira invitation on 19th. You may check junk/spam mailbox, if nothing there, I think you should contact admission office. Good luck.

There's nothing on the spam/junk. I informed the same to Adcom abd they insisted i wait for the week to end. Also, i received university acknowledgement on 21st Jan. When did you receive it?

Posted from my mobile device

I received the application acknowledgment on 19th, and received kira interview at the same day.

Ok great.

They seem to be overwhelmed by the volume of applications. I'll wait for a few days as advised.

Posted from my mobile device

I applied on 13th January but I didn’t even receive acknowledgement from their side.

Posted from my mobile device

I filled my application form on 19th jan and received a call for kira interview on 25th jan.
