Deutsche IB (London) HV question meaning

The first question seems to ask Why Deutsche & "Why this division (IB) in Deutsche"—which might perhaps seem to be asking "Why IB (generally—as a career choice—as opposed to asset management))"?, but if I remember correctly from previous years, there seems to be another separate implied "Why IB (why this particular internship program?)?" as a different subsequent question..

For the sake of clarification, am I right in deducing that the first question is not asking "why a career in IB, as opposed to consulting, etc.", but really asking: why DEUTSCHE bank's IB division, as opposed to other banks's IB?"; while it is the second/follow-up question that really asks Why IB?

In my opinion it doesn't really matter what exactly you refer to. Could be both "why IB" and "why DB IB" , I answered both of those questions for example. What really matters is that you are able to express yourself clearly and you don't sound like a robot. Imo that's what they really are looking for.

 

Not 100% sure but I think it was something along the lines of "what experiences make you a good fit for the job(you can speak about non work or academic related things)"
