Topics Covered in the Interview

Work experience & motivation (ISRO role, why MBA, serving the nation)
Core domain knowledge (space sector, ISRO budget, NSIL, IN-Space, private players)
Statistics & basics of math (distributions, mean, median, mode applications)
Ethics & policy questions (space spending vs poverty)
Current affairs & economy (SpaceX, stock market vs COVID, Budget)
Hobbies & personal interests

So it was not random grilling it was largely built around his background + fundamentals + current issues.

- One thing I found useful here is how the candidate handled a question he didn’t know (Poisson distribution formula).
Instead of making up an answer, he clearly said he was not sure and guessed. The interview still went smoothly and moved on.

Honesty > bluffing
Panels seem to value clarity of thinking more than pretending to know everything
