LPDP interview preparation starts with your own documents: reread your essay and study plan, map the questions panels typically ask, then rehearse spoken answers in both Indonesian and English. Panels usually combine academics and psychologists, assessing your consistency with your documents, the maturity of your study plan, and your commitment to contributing after graduation.
- The interview belongs to the substance-selection stage, the third stage after administration and the scholastic aptitude test
- Panels dig into three core topics: your study plan, your contribution plan, and consistency with your essay
- Interviewers may switch languages mid-session, so prepare your core answers in both Indonesian and English
- Copies of the essay and study plan you submitted at the administrative stage
