And how long did they take to get back to you after the interview? Which specialization were you offered?

Gas Supply.

How long? 10 days later i got the copy of my admission letter by email.

When? Immediately after the interview. When will you have it?

The questions...if you can speak German, do it. Then they will ask you about your interests, what do you do at work, why Clausthal, usw. (in English).
And then some basic stuff about engineering, math (Calculus) and sciences. Prepare yourself with a calculator and a piece of paper

I have the interview 2moro. So they tell you immediately after the interview whether or not you have admission?

Yes. Good luck; tomorrow will be given the last study places for 2012.

And where do you come from?

@ mshahzad846, radz and g1234,

sorry for the delay in response......

@ mshahzad846 and radz, i hope ur interviews went well.

@g1234, i had to wait for the hard copy of the admision letter before proceeding with visa application...

@radz: Very well! How it was? What kind of questions did you ask? Did you get the admission?

@devmantic: Oh ok. Thank you!

@g1234
The interview went well, not as technical as I had expected, I dint even touch my calculator, lol They asked me about my interests, my choice of specialisation, why I want to study there and that was just about it. I was given the chance to ask questions...I asked more on the dual pfrogramme. So I'm waiting, she said (it was just one prof) she'll give the feedback to the committee and they'll let me know.
And how are you opening the blocked bank account? Online?....Perhaps Devmantic you can help on this matter?

@ radz,

I had to go the german embassy to open the blocked bank account. You would be given some documents to fill and other essential details will be provided to you.

Thanks for the info Devmantic.
