Group interviews are often the most stressful part of scholarship and university admissions, yet also the least practised. This Group Interview Bootcamp (17 Mar 2026, in Bishan) gives students guided, small‑group practice in panel and case formats, insider insight into what interviewers look for, and personalised feedback to improve quickly. Ideal for JC/IB, poly, Sec 3–4 students and NSFs aiming for competitive uni and scholarships.
