WHAT ARE THE MAJOR CONSIDERATIONS FOR FINAL SELECTION? 
Firstly, your performance at the interview will speak a lot about your chances of been admitted. That is the more reason why you need to master the regularly repeated questions of the IPS interview. Each question asked has a purpose for it and has a clue to the type of answer expected of you. The essence is to really know if you have the needed abilities and qualities for the program.

If you failed the course, let your later result justify the...
