Bain's 15min+15min case interview

Hi all,

I recently heard that Bain is using something like a 15min+15min model for its 1st round case interviews in some Asian countries. The model works like the candidate is handed a one-page slide with the case background and 2-3 questions for 15 minutes of solo preparation with absolutely no interactions with the interviewer (the interviewer only jumps in at the end of the 15-minute session). It is then followed by another 15-minute presentation by the candidate in front of the interviewer with little-to-moderate interaction between the interviewer and the candidate. 

Just wondering if anyone is familiar with this interview type and may help provide some similar-type cases for practice. 

Thanks!
