You must know about your course and must be able to prove your passion for it.

Practice well.

Be smart and unique with your answers. Don’t be monotonous during the interview, vary your tone, and be authentic.

Ask That Last Question. They will give you the chance to ask them a question/questions at the end of the interview, and you should ask a smart question so that they can remember you. Don’t ask conventional questions and don’t ask about things that are easily known by searching for their answers.
