Hi Everyone,

I am thinking on applying to this program. Which exam do you recommend to take, the GMAT or the IEGAT?.

Hope to hear from you soon and congratulations for the acceptance!!

Thanks

Hey guys i am not totally sure about the questions asked specifically for IE, but i am pretty sure it has some questions common with the interview process of other top schools such as LBS & HEC. I am sharing here my interview experience at HEC & ESCP.

One of the best way to prepare for the MiM interviews is to have loads of mock interviews and enact the different scenarios that could take place. It is a good idea to be prepared for a stress test or be ready to face really rude behavior.
Below is an interview transcript of one of our founding members, knowing some probable MiM interview questions will definitely help you get an edge over the other candidates.

Introduction
So well I had this interview via the SAI selection process which is responsible for MiM admissions to HEC, ESCP, Emlyon, Audencia Nantes and Skema.

The Panel
The SAI interviews are usually taken by 3-4 panel members. My interview took place in Mumbai, India and was presided by 3 people. 1 gentleman who was an alumni from Audencia Nantes and was now starting a company in Pune. The other 2 were French ladies, one was a French teacher settled in India while the other was a professor from one of the SAI business school.

Some questions that were asked in SAI interviews are as follows:
Please introduce yourself
Why do you want to pursue this degree?
Why not an MBA?
Which of the 5 colleges do you want to target & why?
Will you be able to cope up with the pressure of a hectic school schedule?
How is your French?
How do you plan to manage in France with such a limited level of French?
Tell us about a time when you handled a difficult situation between co-workers
Tell us something about the economy of France
Tell us some French companies you admire or are interested in.
Oh so you are interested in Energy ( can be any sector)? Do you know the CEO of EDF or Areva?
What are your future plans?
How will a degree from our school, help you in your future?
What do you think would be your key take away from this degree
Do you have any questions for us? (The last chance to impress them!!)

Also if you are from a very different background such as Arts, Languages etc. be prepared for a number of questions concerning whether you would survive in the fast paced environment of business studies and manage your course work.

Verdict
Well for me the interview lasted around 20 minutes, and I thought it went fairly well.
When the results came out I had scored an admit in all colleges except HEC.
In SAI you can ask for your interview score once the results are declared, I found out that I had scored a 3 on 4. So I guess there was still scope for improvement.

Hope the interview extract helped.
