The Kira video interview is an online, recorded interview used by schools like INSEAD, Rotman, and Imperial to test how you speak, think, and present yourself. You’ll get 3–6 questions, each with 30–60 seconds to prepare and 1–2 minutes to answer on video. No retakes—your first take is final.
Questions are usually about real experiences, like “Tell us about a time you solved a team conflict.” Some schools also include a short written task, where you type your answer in a few minutes. These are often motivation-based, like “Why do you want to join our MBA program?” or “What are your short-term career goals?”
Yes, Kira does matter—some schools use it before interview shortlists. They’re checking if you’re confident, clear, and stay calm under pressure.
Make sure your camera, audio, and background are neat. You don’t need fancy prep—just practice speaking clearly with a timer and review your own videos to improve.

Kira interview is a pre-recorded video and written interview platform used by schools like Yale SOM, HEC, and ESADE. It’s not live—you get a question, have 30–60 seconds to prepare, then record your answer (usually 90 seconds long).
Questions are a mix of personal and situational. Examples include:
- “Describe a time you failed and what you learned.”
- “What motivates you to pursue an MBA right now?”
It’s not just a formality—some schools use Kira to decide who gets shortlisted for final interviews. They’re looking for clear communication, structured thinking, and a bit of your personality.
To prepare, practice recording yourself answering common MBA questions. Focus on staying calm, speaking clearly, and keeping your answers organized. That’s usually enough to feel ready for the format.
