While the format can be unpredictable and varies from candidate to candidate, the interview process generally revolves around four core areas.&nbsp; It usually starts with fundamental questions about you and your family, followed by a brief extempore round where you speak for a minute on a given topic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll also be asked academic questions based on class 11 and 12 subjects. In addition, expect questions on current affairs, general knowledge and personal interests or hobbies. Preparing thoroughly in these areas will help you in approaching the interview with confidence and clarity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-10-tips-on-how-to-crack-ipmat-personal-interview\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_Tips_on_How_to_Crack_IPMAT_Personal_Interview\"><\/span><strong>10 Tips on How to Crack IPMAT Personal Interview<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Tip<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>What You Should Do<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>1.
