What kind of questions are asked in an IIM-B executive MBA interview?

The IIM Bangalore EPGP interview usually focuses on your professional experience, leadership skills, and your motivation to pursue the program. The panel will mostly ask about your work history, achievements, and future goals  all to understand whether you’re the right fit for their class of experienced professionals.

You can expect questions like “Tell us about a challenge you handled at work,” “Why EPGP and why now?” or “What leadership experiences have shaped you?” Your answers should reflect clarity of purpose and a strong understanding of how this MBA fits into your career plan.

Sometimes, interviewers also explore your industry knowledge and how you respond to real-life business scenarios. The goal is to see how you think, adapt, and communicate not just what you know.

You can check the EPGP admission section on IIM Bangalore’s official website for the most updated interview guidance and sample topics. Practicing 3–4 examples from your career, using simple and honest language, can make a big difference during the actual conversation.
