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.
