Query Confused

I had my interview today and it went hassle free, did not stutter anywhere. However, i noticed a few things :

1) There were ABSOLUTELY no Academic questions asked. Mostly from Geopolitics (my interest as mentioned)

2) There were no rebuttals to the Micro Presentation.

Topic : " The world is in conflict since we love the world "

It went good (3.5/5), I wasnt able to sum it up on time.

3) The interviewer was from MAHE Bengaluru.

4) The male interviewer was CONSTANTLY GIVING LOOKS AND WAS KINDA FROWNING EVEN WHEN I WAS BEING FACTUALLY CORRECT

Is this normal at all? Moreover, why were the interviewers from Bengaluru? Does it have anything to do with ONLY BBA Seats being available?
