1. Tell me about yourself.
2. Why MBA now?
3. Question related to my project in previous company about my patent?
4. Question related to my project in current company – GenAI related product?
5. Follow-up question related to previous question can you explain about this product to someone who is from non tech background for example to my grandma how you will explain?
6. Tell me about how your peers would describe about you?

To prepare for the interview, I went through my essays, mock interviews with General Education consultants really helped me to build my confidence.
