What is a Kira video interview?

Many business schools ask applicants to record answers on Kira, a video assessment platform made by Kira Talent. You see a question you have not seen before, get a short time to think, and then answer on camera while a timer runs. Some schools add written questions too.

There is no one to smile back at and no second chance to rephrase, which is why it feels harder than a normal interview. Each school sets its own questions and timings, so always read the instructions in your invite.

How free practice works

  1. Pick your questions1 to 5 per run, drawn from 50 essential questions across all five types (all 170 with KIRA Premium), or write your own.
  2. Think, then answer on cameraChoose 10 to 30 seconds to prepare and up to 2 minutes to answer, as in the real round.
  3. See your practice scoreA score for every answer, your history and your progress from run to run.

Questions you could be asked

A few from the question bank. In practice, you see each question only when your timer starts.

What you see after every run

A made-up student, shown exactly as the app shows it. Try it: point at a note, or click a step of the story.

A clear, well-told story. Two things held it back: there are no numbers in it, and you skipped what you were asked to do.

At my last firm we had no way to track client queries.1 2Task missing hereSo, um I built a simple tracker over a weekend and showed it to my manager on Monday. 4s pause Then like the whole team started using it. Every query had an owner from then on. I learned to ship the smallest version first.

Worked well
A clear start, action, result and lesson, and you owned it with "I".
Delivery
Pace comfortable · long pause: 4 seconds after "on Monday"
  1. 1

    Add a number

    “we had no way to track client queries”

    Without a number, the panel cannot tell how big the problem was, so they remember it as small.

    Try“About 40 client queries a week were going unanswered.”

  2. 2

    Say what you were asked to do

    You went from the problem straight to what you built. The Task shows how big your role was.

    Try“My manager asked me to fix it, with no budget and no developer.”

  3. 3

    Pause instead of "um" and "like"

    A small thing, but fillers make a strong point sound less sure.

Questions about free practice

Is it really free?

Yes. The free plan includes 10 practice runs, each of 1 to 5 questions, from 50 essential questions. There is nothing to pay and no card is needed. KIRA Premium (₹1,699 including GST, one payment, 90 days) adds 20 runs with a detailed report on every answer, 50 score-only runs and all 170 questions.

Is this the official Kira platform?

No. Pragmatly is not affiliated with or endorsed by Kira Talent. This is a practice tool in the same style: unseen questions, a short time to think and a timed answer. Your school’s real assessment happens on Kira’s own platform, so always follow the instructions in your invite.

What happens to my video?

Your video stays in your browser on your device and is never uploaded. It disappears when you refresh or close the tab. If you choose to keep audio, it is kept privately for 6 months and used only to improve our practice, then deleted. You cannot delete it yourself: to have it deleted sooner, write to support@pragmatly.com.

How is my answer scored?

Every answer gets a practice score out of 10, worked out automatically, so you can see how you improve from run to run. No expert reviews your answers, and the score does not predict an admission result.

What do I need?

A laptop or desktop with a camera and a microphone. It runs in your browser, with nothing to install; Chrome or Edge work best.

Can I practise with a real person instead?

Yes. With Dual-Edge, a Pragmatly expert interviews you live and gives you personal feedback.
