Thank you for sharing. I've just completed my Masters and this has given me an idea of what to expect on my PhD. If I can survive 4 hours of intense questioning then any future job interviews will not be daunting. Well done for successfully defending your thesis!

Hi Lotsz, thanks for your comment! I would look at how others in the group dress for the viva. It's best to overdress (i.e. on the smarter side) to stay on the safe side but I'd say that as long as you're smartly dressed, you're fine. Some people will wear a suit, others will wear a smart dress, some will wear a suit without the jacket and some rebels (like me :D) will wear a fluffy printed jumper and black jeans. Hope this helps!

Hi, I'm a student and I want to pursue a phd. during your interview , the panellists tend to ask questions which has no answer ..so how to attemp those and what if you don't know the answer to that question
@Sunnysundas
7 жыл бұрын
Hi Subarna, I'd advise you to just attempt the question. You can even stall by asking the interviewer to repeat/rephrase the question so you have a few more seconds to think. If it is a complicated question, you could try breaking down the question and mention that you will address it in parts, which might make you realise that you can actually answer the question in part, if not in full. Even saying that you don't know the direct answer but telling them what you do know can demonstrate your knowledge in the area. If you don't know the answer at all, just say that it's a good question but that you don't know. Hope this helps!
