Q)Should I ask you calculus?
-> sure sir but I haven't studies calculus in detail like core maths students
sir jokingly says how every student has been avoiding calculus (everyone laughs), then i say that I will try my best to answer the questions

-> explains ai and neural networks, deeplearning
Q)extempore on what challenges will businesses face in the future
also asked a bit about my ecas in the end based on whatever I had brought with me in the folder
overall, it was not as scary as i thought it would be, i was pretty confident throughout and was trying to crack jokes to keep the vibe a little calm. interview was for about 20mins
my recommendation would be to pick a favorite topic from every subject and study it in detail, more than what you've studied till 12th.
also if you feel like ur panelists are pretty chill, you can try joking a bit and make them laugh, it's kinda fun and removes the stress nglðŸ˜âœ‹
also I had no gk which I'm pretty sad about as I had prepared alot from gk
majority extempores in Mumbai were about AI, especially for those who haven't studied about AI in detail. I believe that because I had already studied alot about AI and answered alot before, my extempore was different. But do study about AI and machine learning I believe it's a very relevant topic
overall decent interview, 6.5/10, will not predict anything so as to avoid heartbreaks in the future 🥰

looks like a chill interview , all the best!
Interviews can be scary. It is not. At the end of the day, they're just Indian uncles and aunties: it's like talking to your parents' friends.
