3.  How will NMIMS Artificial Intelligence (AI) Assisted Personal Interviews be conducted? 
In an exclusive conversation with MBAUniverse.com on January 28, NMIMS Vice Chancellor has revealed that the Personal Interview round will be conducted in two broad stages. NMIMS Artificial Intelligence (AI) Assisted Personal Interviews will be conducted as follows: 

Stage 1: AI-driven Screening Phase
Dr Bhat has shared that the advanced AI assisted PI method streamlines the evaluation process by first subjecting candidates' documents—such as statements of purpose, qualification records, and experience—to an AI system. 

Based on this initial assessment, along with the candidate's statement of purpose and a detailed form filled by the candidate, the questions may focus on academic performance, professional experience, and the data shared by the candidate.

Stage 2: In-depth Interview by Expert
Following this AI-driven screening phase, candidates are subjected to in-depth questioning by an expert, ensuring a comprehensive evaluation while maintaining transparency throughout the process. 

4.  Expected Duration of NMIMS Artificial Intelligence (AI) Assisted Personal Interviews process? 
For each candidate, the competency assessment and PI duration are approximately 45 minutes and 30 minutes, respectively. 

To providing a comprehensive explanation of the overall process and details, NMIMS will be releasing a video for all registered candidates soon. 

5. What are the benefits of NMIMS AI Personal Interviews process?
So, what are the expected benefits of the new NMIMS Artificial Intelligence (AI) Assisted Personal Interviews process?
