PSC Video Interview 2026: Official Format and Preparation Guide
Q: What is the PSC scholarship video interview?
A: It is the recorded video stage that follows a successfully submitted PSC scholarship application. PSC's current page says the link arrives within seven days. Detailed timings and attempt rules on this page come from PSC's December 2021 application guide, so the instructions in your actual link take priority.
TL;DR PSC calls this stage a video interview on its current application page and a video presentation in its December 2021 guide. The older official guide describes a practice question, 60 seconds to plan, up to 90 seconds to record, and three attempts per question with the most recent attempt submitted. PSC's current page does not restate those format details. Check your live instructions before recording and do not rely on an unofficial question bank.

What PSC currently confirms
PSC's current undergraduate scholarship page places the video interview inside the online application process. A complete submission includes the application form, essay, supporting documents, and video interview.
After successful submission, PSC says the applicant will receive a video interview link within seven days. The current public page does not state:
- the number of questions;
- the current planning or recording time;
- the current number of attempts;
- the exact questions or a scoring rubric;
- a dress code or background requirement; or
- whether the video is a separate pass-or-fail gate.
Use the email, portal notice, and video-platform instructions sent for your application as the controlling source for those details.
Why some official format details are date-bounded
PSC's downloadable Scholarship Application Guide is an official resource, but the PDF metadata and its own closing page date it to December 2021. It describes the video stage as follows:
- Name: PSC calls it a video presentation. This remains useful context, although the current page uses video interview.
- Delivery: Questions are answered by video using an Artificial Intelligence Recruiter. Treat that platform description as historical unless your current link confirms it.
- Practice: A practice question appears before the mandatory questions. Use it if the current platform provides it.
