INSEAD MBA Interview Questions & Report: Round 1 / Alumnus / Off-Campus
R1 alum interview, off-campus in-person, ran about an hour. Very conversational and felt more like a chat than an evaluation. It was resume-based, and felt that he clearly read mine.

Two behavioral questions: Tell me about a time I had to face failure and asked me to share an instance in which I lead a team/tough situations. What surprised most was the question about why I was applying from Vietnam as an Indian national. Read more
