I am thinking of applying there for GKS u this year. Does anybody has any idea how that university is?

Hello, anyone knows when and where the announcement for 1st round for university track for Chonnam National University? Their guideline says TBD May. But the anxiety is consuming me 🥲 Thank you

I’m from brazil, hufs alumni and I just got my rejection letter from Hankuk University of Foreign Studies today and I'm honestly feeling pretty down.

Did anyone else here apply for the university track and not make it? Just looking for some support or to see if anyone is in the same boat

One of the most important (and common) questions in GKS interviews is:

“Why now?” or “Why do you want to pursue your Master’s at this particular time?”

Here’s a strong, natural, and personal answer that was recently shared (especially useful for AI / Healthcare AI applicants):

“I think this is the perfect time for me to pursue my Master’s because India’s focus is also shifting towards AI, and we are moving towards digitalization of health records. I want to be at the forefront of this healthcare AI innovation, where I can contribute meaningfully to building reliable healthcare systems — and help patients like my mother.”

Why this answer works well:

• It shows awareness of current trends in India (AI + digital health)
• It connects the timing to a clear personal motivation
• It demonstrates both ambition and genuine intention to contribute

The feedback given was that it’s a perfect timing because AI is booming everywhere right now.

If you’re preparing for your GKS interview, this is one of the questions you should definitely prepare in advance.

Have you been asked this question before? Or what answer are you planning to give? Feel free to share in the comments — it might help others too.

Good luck to everyone applying for GKS!
