Need help to prepare for scholarship interview

[yukiryu]

So yeap, I'm a student matriculating into NUS ChemEng this year, and I got offered a scholarship interview opportunity!
So yay me, but the thing is having come from a neighbourhood JC, i have absolutely no idea how to prepare for interviews unlike the other top few JC which have interview courses or whatnot haha...

The scholarship i got offered interview is the Singapore-Industry Scholarship, offered by Novartis Pharmaceutical. Anyone has any experience before and can advise me? Right now i'm just digging up information on the company as much as I can such as their annual financial report and what kind of products they are focusing in, but really not sure how else to prepare or what to look out for. The interview is on 6th May, which is like 2 days times haha :/

Right about now I'm glad for any advise haha

Hi, here are some tips for you for any scholarship interviews
1. know the business of the company
2. know the reason for choosing that company
3. Show your interest in joining the company
4. Be confident with yourself.
5. Prepare a set of questions to ask the interviewers.

Hi! Thanks for the input! what kind of questions are suitable to ask them?

Also just wanna check, what are the scholarship T&C, like min CAP or such? I'm assuming they're more or less similar aboard the various companies

Ask them on what kind of career prospect/progression there is in the company.

Default Min CAP is 4.0. However I do know someone who is currently below 4.0 and probably will graduate with less than that. Therefore, it is up to your company to decide on a case by case basis.

I'm biased but this is probably one of the companies on the scholarship list with the best prospects.
