Masdar fall 2017

[Tea.Lover]

Looks like alot of people are shortlisted hahaha. But to be fair, I have never heard of Masdar conducting interviews, but what I do know is sometimes the faculty themselves conduct interviews for the possible team members. I dont know to be honest, just what I heard.

Hi Mithu,

Yes, at first they have taken interview and then status changed. It was totally technical interview. Two of the professors (related to my research area) took that. As I have applied in Electrical power Engineering, their questions was about this related area. What is your profile?

Regards,

Sakib

Hi,

Got an invitation for an interview based on a 10 minute presentation at Khalifa university. The interview is for MAsdar, as everything is merged under Khalifa now. Has anybody faced an interview before?

[Tea.Lover]

Me too, I just received an Email. 

[M21987]

My interview is on 5th of June.When is yours?

[Tea.Lover]

Mine is on the 4th of June. I dont really know what the presentation is really about

[M21987]

They said the presentation is mainly on our academic background, but the interview is going to be a technical round when I enquired.

[Tea.Lover]

Hmm, in what way technical? I am asking as I want to make sure if I need to revise what I studied.

[M21987]

I have no clue about the same. Might be to check our ability to take up the course. So, we might have to revise.

[Tea.Lover]

Everything is happening so suddenly, I guess we just need to prepare the presentation and hope for the best.

[M21987]

Lets hope so. Good luck to everybody. Do post about what happened at the interview.

[M21987]

Best wishes to all of you attending the interview tomorrow:-)

Best wishes for you guys. Would you mind sharing your profiles as well? Also, have anyone of you contacted any faculty member?  

[M21987]

I have a Masters in Remote Sensing and Bachelors in Electronics Engineering.Also worked for Ericsson as a Telecom Engineer and I have left education sector 5 years back. Ys, I did contact few faculty members last year and they said it would be better for me to apply to Masters program.

Very well rounded profile. Is Masdar your 1st choice? 

[M21987]

Well rounded it might seem, but its lotta work getting there-high expectations. So you just finished college?

Yes, I have been dying to get in there from last year. And hope I make it through this year, coz last sem, they just moved my application to fall 2017.
