This University was a disaster and disgrace! they first ask for interview and ask to do some additional tasks like computer programming to prove yourself, then after a while that they disappear, they re-appear and say "Oh, the agent who was responsible for your case was in vacation!!!", at the end they just look in your documents (university transcripts ...) to check the entry requirements!!!! while it is obvious that they need to do this first and then ask for interview!!!!! they are rude and weird! DO NOT APPLY TO KU LEUVEN

Nice Comment pm133. I have applied for a couple of other positions but this is the most likely one so far. I had an interview from NTNU as well (actually the professor sent me some 32 tech and personal questions to answer) and then the professor disappeared for 3-4 weeks! after that he emailed me that "he is waiting for the department to rank my CV in the candidates ..." but I knew another professor there and when I asked his advise he suggested that "the professor more likely is lying since he is the guy to rank the CV and decide!" so ... weird stories ...

eng77, Thank you for reply, and I agree that I should have been more patient and should not have shown myself as a hasty person. anyway I just got a reply today as "I I’m still waiting for input from the central office, I will contact you as soon as I hear anything." But he could have provided some more details like they are doing this and that ...., waiting is difficult anyway ...

I have had a PhD studentship interview from KU Lueven 2 weeks ago. It was a Skype interview that took 45 minutes with just on professor interviewing me. He told me it will take 1 week to us for inform you. We are interviewing 2 other candidates but I think your CV most fit to the position. After around 6 days I sent a thank you message and asked for outcome very sincerely. He replied "we are running some internal eligibility screening and we will come back to you as soon as we have an outcome". After few days I again asked the professor "for any development", but he did not even reply this time (like 3 days ago). What do you think it the condition? My own sense is that they are probably offering the position to someone else and waiting for his/her confirmation!
