The Interview is now a
Competence Test.
Gone are the generic Q&A sessions. Visa officers now use Writing Tests and Syllabus Mapping to filter out students with "Agent-Written" profiles.
3 Latest Scrutiny Measures Based on Student Feedback
The Writing Test
Officers may slide a blank paper and ask you to write a summary of your SOP or explain a gap year instantly.
- "Why TU Chemnitz specifically?"
- "Explain 'Fluid Mechanics' from your admit letter."
The "Specifics" Trap
Generic answers like "I will return to India" are rejected. They demand names of companies and roles.
"You mentioned Prof. Schmidt in your SOP. Tell me about his recent research paper on Neural Networks."
Syllabus Verification
Officers test if you actually know what you studied vs. what you will study.
"How does your Bachelor's project on 'Solar Cells' relate to this Master's in 'Power Engineering'?"
