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

Getting selected for the IIM Bangalore EPGP program means you’re already doing well in your career. The interview is designed to go beyond your resume and understand how clearly you think, communicate, and lead.

Most of the questions revolve around your past work experiences, key decision-making moments, and what kind of impact you’ve made in your roles. You might hear questions like “Can you describe a time when you led a team through change?” or “What’s the toughest feedback you’ve received at work?”

They’ll also want to see how serious you are about the program. So expect questions like “Why EPGP at IIM-B?” or “How does this fit into your 5-year plan?” It’s helpful when your answers show that you’ve researched the curriculum and understand how the school supports your growth.

In some cases, they may test your ability to handle real-world challenges with situational questions. Make sure your answers stay honest, structured, and rooted in your actual work experiences. Your confidence, not perfection, is what stands out most. Always align your story with what EPGP values-leadership, clarity, and contribution.
