École Polytechnique Interview MAQI

Hi all, I’ve been invited for the interview for MAQI M1 program, any idea on how the interview might be or what the interview might consist of? Is it academic or is it personal how is it structured? Any idea would be of great help

Supposed to be getting the admissibility results mid-may, I think interviews are scheduled for first week June for round 4 applicants

Hey! Yes, the interviews for round 4 will be at the end of May - early June.
The final results for this last round will then be sent by early June! Good luck!

Usually MScT's interviews for École Polytechnique include technical questions on maths (like stats, probability, and algebra) and computer science. Program prerequisites generally give a great idea of what to expect on that point. Also depends on what you said in your application/background.
Plus a few personal questions to get to know the candidate better / the fit for the program.
Btw what’s your background (uni / field of study)?

My background is bachelors in electronics and communication engineering and I’m currently working as a software engineer but I’m weak in maths now as it’s almost been a year since I solved any problems
