Exams
For Application, I had to submit our CV, 1 SoP, and 2 LoR. In my CV I mentioned my research projects to date from Bachelor's and masters highlighted the skills like cloning, tissue culture, animal models, etc that are relevant to the project I am applying to and the professor of my interest. I had a long scholarship interview where I was questioned about my research project in my master's degree and also about my nature of work. In my LoR, I had my professor to write extensively about my research capabilities and career achievements. Yes, I had one round of interview with my prospective supervisor and one round with the scholarship committee. It is best to remain calm and answer what you know without getting tensed if you are unaware.
