Yes, everyone who clears the entrance exam for MPhil Clinical Psychology at NIMHANS is called for an interview. However, not everyone gets selected because the number of seats available is very low in comparison to the shortlisted students.

The interviewers don’t ask much technical questions and usually assess your personality and talents. The most common question asked is ‘Why do you want to join this specific course?’. So, it’s better to prepare for it beforehand. Sometimes candidates might be enquired about their post-graduation thesis.

Usually, it’s just a very personal interview with no technical questions so don’t worry about preparing for it and just be your real self.

During a college interview for a B.Pharma program at Jamia Hamdard University, you can expect to be asked a variety of questions related to your interests, qualifications, and motivation for pursuing a career in pharmacy. Moreover, if you are unaware of the kind of questions asked, you might even flunk the interview. Usually, the interview lasts for 30 minutes, although some may be longer. A typical pattern of a general interview is as follows:

• A small introduction talk for 5 minutes
• A 15-minute discussion of your background and profile
• A five-minute question round 
• A five-minute conclusion of the interview

A few sample questions you can prepare for beforehand are 

• Tell me about yourself?
• What are your two best points?
• What are your two weakest points?
• What interests you outside of pharmacy and getting into pharmacy school?
• What do you do in your spare time?
• Why do you want to be a pharmacist?
• When did you decide pharmacy was a good career choice for you?
• What steps have you taken to confirm that you want to be a pharmacist?
• What do you think being a pharmacist entails?
• What do you feel are the most important qualities of being a good pharmacist?
• Why do you want to attend [Pharmacy School Name]?
• What do you look for in a good pharmacy school?
• Why do you want to go to school here?
• Why should [Pharmacy School Name] choose you over other candidates?
• What do you know about the [Pharmacy School Name] program?

Prepare accordingly and ace the interview!

There is no fixed pattern for the interview conducted by CMC Vellore in the last stage of the admission process. Usually, the shortlisted candidates are categorized into groups of 5 or 6, Boys and Girls, separately. There are 2 group observers for each group, called G.O. Students have to go through a number of individual tasks, group tasks, group discussions, and multiple interviews with their group observers.

• Individual Tasks : These include a combination of complex and simple tasks man to evaluate your intellect to identify the doable tasks instead of focusing on the undoable tasks. This actually is the medical concept of triage wherein during an emergency, the doctor should prioritize the patient for whom their immediate care would mean a difference between life and death.
• Group Task: These may include building a school classroom with the materials provided in a limited time period of course. This task evaluates your communication skills and your organization skills. These skills are crucial for saving a patient's life during the time of an emergency. 
• Interviews: These are conducted to ensure you answer the same questions asked by different interviewers smartly. The most common question asked is “Why did you choose medicine”. 

Hope you make it to CMC Vellore, one of the best medical colleges in India.

My elder brother used to be a student of XLRI and he had to come across some tricky, if not weird questions. 

• They asked him the difference between a lion and a tiger, the difference between a penguin and a bird. They asked him to differentiate between an alligator and a crocodile, between a turtle and a tortoise, and also between a donkey and a mule.
• He had to refer to the group discussion where the professor asked my brother to rate the group and how he contributed. 
• The professor asked him about the error of commission and the error of omission. 
• He could not say if the professor was satisfied with his answer and all he got in response from the latter was a straight face.
• Other questions the professors have asked their interviewees were the difference between the tragedies of Sophocles and Shakespeare. It is a good question to test our knowledge of dramatic narratives. 
• Another question was how Shakespeare can be related to human resources.

Interviews in B-schools can sometimes be non-standardized and are often reactive of the experiences of the interviewee(s). My brother cannot say if the testing is deliberately non-standardized, whether responses are calibrated or normalized, or if the professors test the reliability. A lot of people who made it past the personal interview ended up joining the IIMs and vice-versa.
