How was your IIT Kharagpur PGDBA interview experience?

Educational Background- BE graduate from BIT Mesra, Ranchi (74.4%), 12th (88.8%), 10th (10 CGPA).
Work experience: 1 year

The Interview was conducted in an online manner, and its duration was 30 minutes. There were three interviewers, and they made me feel comfortable before starting the PI. Here are some questions I was asked during the interview-
First, I was asked to Introduce myself. I answered politely and confidently. I told the interviewers everything about myself. I told them about my academic qualifications, my work experience, my schooling background, my interests, etc.
I was asked about my undergrad degree. I answered that I have completed my B.Tech from BIT Meshra, Ranchi in Computer Science. In response to this, I was asked the reason for pursuing CSE for my B.Tech. I responded by saying that I am interested in computer science, which is why I opted for a B.Tech in this stream.
Apart from my personal details, I was asked technical questions too. For example, one of the interviewers asked me to differentiate between Analytics and Analysis. The interviewers asked Business Analytics related questions, and questions on current affairs.
My advice to you would be to remain calm and confident during the interview, and to study a bit of current affairs. Also, make sure to study a bit on this course, and have answers to basic questions such as the one I have mentioned above.
Overall, my PGDBA interview experience at IIT Kharagpur was quite pleasant.
