How Technical are Sophomore Summer IB Internship Interviews?

I understand that there are behavioral and technical parts to a typical junior summer IB internship interview, but does this also hold true to a sophomore summer IB internship interview as well?

My understanding is that sophomore summer internships are mainly for diversity candidates and are not classified as a conventional IB internship, so are there differences in the interview/superday structure and how much they expect you to know about corporate finance, financial modeling, financial accounting, etc?

Thank you all!
