I applied through university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at KAIST in Aug 2024
Interview
I was asked about what I had researched during my master’s program, and I received a few follow-up questions about it. Three professors participated in the interview, and it ended on a positive note with a good atmosphere.
In the interview, I introduced the research topic I worked on during my master's program and explained what kind of research I plan to pursue during my Ph.D. I also explained why I want to attend this graduate school, relating it to the ongoing research. Most of the questions were focused on various aspects of my master research.
