Below is interview experience:

3 interviewers- 2 adcom members and 1 alumni(indian)

1. Elevator pitch
2. 3 companies and 3 locations of your choice for job after graduation
3. Why these 3 companies that are very distinct from each other?
4. Why NUS? Why not ISB or IIMs.
5. 1 business leader (not of Indian Origin) that you would like to meet next week and why.
6. 1 Asian company(not indian) that interests you and why. Then some more questions based on ques 6.
7. What is the difference between Asian and Western way of business.
8. What is your experience working with people from different cultures(if any).
9. With 3.5 years of experience, how will you contribute to a class with average wex of 5-6.
10. Any questions for us.

The whole interview was conversational and very easy going. Overall a good experience.

All the best guys!

No did not ask. Since I want to stay in Asia-Pacific, I preferred India, Australia and Singapore.

Hey Guys

On the NUS website, I am stuck at this step. Can you guys help me out with this?

1. What should I select for specialization? I'm applying for 17 month MBA. Not sure why "healthcare management-spn" is showing up.
2. What exactly do we need to select for the "source of finance" ? If I am looking for scholarships, then what do I need to select?

Specialisation is to be selected only if you r planning to go for that specialisation if not then you can leave it.

Source of Finance - I selected others as I wanted to Finance my degree through self, scholarship and loan.

Here is my NUS face to face interview experience. Lasted about 25 mins..conversational and not at all stressful..2 adcom members and one alumni..Below are some of the questions asked (not necessarily in order):
1) 60 sec elevator pitch
2)One Asia based company and leader that you follow
3)One instance when you balanced your manager's and juniors' expectations
4)What does success mean to you?
5)What if you don't get your dream job? What's plan B?
6)Why NUS? Which other schools have you applied to?
7)Any questions for us

Do you guys have any idea when can we expect to hear the results?

Hey ! So below is my interview experience -

It was really conversational. 2 AdCom Members. Both female. One was from Career services and another was Professor.

Interview Questions-

1. What are you post MBA Goals?
2. Why NUS? Why now?
3. They were really interested in my multi-cultural experience and team handling. Asked questions about the same
4. I have worked in Turkey and Thailand. They asked me about the difference in two cultures.
5. Questions related to my work experience so far.

Total time: 18 Minutes.

Hope that helps.

My internet started to act up halfway in my second interview and the panel decided to reschedule. Really worried about how this incident will reflect on my application.
