My Diyanet Foundation Interview | Experience for Turkiye Burslari | Interview tips and tricks

My Interview Experience

Name  : Shahzaib Ul Hassan

Country : Pakistan

Hi , How are you after all? Today I am here to share my experience about Interview under Turkiye Diyanet Scholarship program which is in-fact a handsome scholarship program under Turkish government.

Lets begin with without further explanations. My interview was scheduled on 5^th May 2019 at 10:30 in Park-Turk Schools in Islamabad territory ( the capital of Pakistan ). I although reached before time which is infact the most important thing a candidate ought to follow. I could therefore relax and felt a little nervous since it was the first interview of my life , but , literally I enjoyed a lot in the interview room.

Unfortunately, the Diyanet Interview team , with some miss-understanding reached the other campus of the same school which was infact the best school all around the country. We were soon informed about the changing venue and we were shifted at the new location with great comfortably.

Then we were called with an initial attendance to make sure about our presence. We were a total of 15 candidates a maximum but the most astonishing thing was when I came to know that only two candidates were there for bachelors degree and all the rest were for High School , I got a shock first but then I was relaxed since my chances of being selected multiplied (obviously they need students for university as well ). Another astonishing thing was the other candidate who applied for Bachelors degree left without appearing in interview. The reason I’ll share later.

Anyways they first moved us to the interview room. There were about 4 to 5 turk members in the interview room and they welcome us politely. I loved their kindness. Then  they brief us about the scholarship i.e. Diyanat Scholarship which was infact the most handsome scholarship under the Turkish government. I suggest to the new members , to must apply for this scholarship and don’t let this opportunity be wasted at any cost.

We were then given a pamphlet sort of page on which IQ questions were printed. We were first suppose to solve them. They were just easy questions and I may say very easy indeed! There were 20 questions and 25 minutes to go with it. Before this we were given a pen from Diyanet foundation and a sweet also !

After this we went out of interview room where our test was held. They started calling the students one by one and depending upon the education level they were asked general questions like

1)    First introduce yourself.

2)    Why do uh wanted to study in turkey?

3)    Have uh read any book , visited any museum , or known with any personality in turkey?

4)    Do uh have a friend in turkey?

5)    What are your future plans?

6)    General questions about your country.

These were the questions asked from the candidate including those who applied for high school in turkey. The questions which they asked from me , except the above questions are as follows:

1)    What do uh know about the muslims being tortured in Palestine.

2)    What is the difference between the Muslims in Palestine and Turkey.

3)    What do uh know about daaish?

4)    What is your major? (really important question for judgment)

5)    Why are uh having beard on your face?

6)    How many children do you have?

7)    Why are you delaying much to marry?

8)    Then they asked me about my father and their status.

9)    I was inquired about my future goals.

10)                      Then we were asked to read the Holy Quran and each candidate read few ayas of Holy Quran. They also asked me few questions about holy quran and Islam.

The other boy who left felt lack in interest in Islamic studies as he thought he was called for an interview from Turkiye Burslari in medical field.

Anyways , I enjoyed a lot. The people were very kind and you people will enjoy a lot being there in the interview room.

I wish you very best of luck and success in your interview. I hope you enjoyed. Do notify me in case you are having any question or you may contact me directly in my gmail account.

Keep praying for my success in the interview and especially in Turkiye Burslari.

Guidelines about Turkiye Burslari Interview | Interview tips | Important points to ponder

As you all are just to receive the interview calls , it is mandatory to be well prepared about the interview to maximize your chances of winning the scholarship and be a part of world's best universities.   

Winning the scholarship of TURKIYE BURSLARI is not a piece of cake. Infact , you need to work very hard for that. If you are deserving (which will definitely be cleared from your application and interview ) you'll get scholarship for sure.

Without explaining anything else lets move towards the scholarship interview ! Here I'll share the experience of students who won the scholarships in the past years.

Firstly , it is to be cleared that YTB can not , of-coarse , visit each country for judging the individuals , they can also have Skype interviews for any reason. It is therefore recommendable to get prepared a Skype / Wechat account since there's none the other alternative.   It is also to be noted that the interview date once allotted can never be changed , its really hard to find what genuine reason they counts although it is nearly impossible to change the date , once allotted.

→ Firstly , the fore-most & primitive thing , the most worth-full is to be on time. The more you be on time the more you can relieve and relax to control your nerves and being punctual paves way to your success by providing a positive picture of your personality.

→ Second is the game of your confidence. The more confident you are , the more likely to get the scholarship.  They'll ask you to introduce yourself. While answering the question you need to put a smile on your face to bring them in your confidence or vice versa. This would multiply your chances of selection but make sure not to laugh aggressively.

 → The interviewers would certainly relax you so don't be panic. Moreover , it is advisable , not to take seat without their permission/order. Try to control your nerves if in case you feels that it is leaking . They are very kind to you. You need not much worry about them.

 → Prepare your self-introduction well at home. You may memorize it if you think you'll be unable to pick points at that time since 80% of your interview is judged in first five minutes. Self-introduction means the introduction of your-self and not of your family which may last for at least a minute. Anyways, there's nothing to be worried about at.

 → Dressing is also of much importance in any interview and hence similar is the case here. It is of no doubt , "First impression is the last impression ". Don't be sooted booted. Don't be much formal. Don't use any ordinary thing in your dressing. Avoid skin tight jeans. You may use a well-pressed three-piece but not that we wear on occasions. You might be complimented on your dressing if maintained well.

 →One of the frequently asked question is " Why do you wanted to pursue your degree from Turkey" ? Here comes your interest. This is also one of the most important questions they ask.

 → One more thing , the interviewers are much smart and clever. They'll judge your application from your interview to acknowledge them with the fact whether you yourself filled the form or not. So it is advisable to go through your Application Summary once or twice to get ready for any sort of questions. 

 → They can also ask what if you are rejected from this scholarship? What'll you do then ?

 → They'll ask you for your passport so get it ready as soon as possible if its not yet. Moreover , bring your original documents along with you.

 → They'll ask you the reason for choosing that particular course for your coming years. Support  your answer with logical and healthy reasons especially those mentioned in your letter of intent.

 →At last they'll answer you about if you have made any mistake in your application. If so , correct it at once. Otherwise you yourself will solely be responsible for the outcomes.

That's all for today. I'll try to share more questions but if you wanted me to create a separate blog for the answers to above questions , just put your interest in comment box. I'll try to respond soon.
