Yes, had mine today for the robotics track (second choice), I got the invite last night.


Congrats! Did they ask programming/algorithmic questions and did you have to do live coding ?
How did it go overall?

I didn't have to do live coding but the interview was quite technical, and went in depth about control theory, and on algorithms about optimal control, based on my past work, like I had to derive equations and so on. I was asked no questions on my research proposal which was on system software, so its understandable given the interview was for my second choice robotics. Overall the interview went okay, so not sure what to expect haha.

Has anyone had an interview from the AI & ML track or NLP?

Reply 25

Any idea when the first round of offers start rolling out, assuming most interviews are completed by 21st January

Reply 26

What percentage of people get selected from the interview round? Any idea?

That’s really unfortunate to hear! Did you have an interview?

I think the degree commitee meetings are today from some googling, so hopefully we should be hearing back soon about the first round of offers maybe? Not sure how it works. https://www.cambridgestudents.cam.ac.uk/files/pcdc_meeting_dates.pdf

Those who had an interview, is the status on the application portal still showing 'Under review by department - Your application is currently under review'?

Yes it is for me, not sure if it should have changed since yesterday was the DC meeting

The same.

Reply 37

Yeah, if it moves from under review by department to something else -- that's a good sign that applications are being processed. Did people here also apply to the MLMI?
