Round: Test
Experience: The test was very well designed with seemingly easy questions but which required deep understanding of fundamentals. I really enjoyed the quantitative part and the data analytics part.

Duration: 90 minutes
Total Questions: 30
Round: Puzzle Interview

5 Interview Rounds
Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Test
Experience: There were three sections Quantitative aptititude, Data Analytics and Computer Science. Doing well in any one of the section will be enough to get shortlisted for the internview. But try scoring in other sections as well. Data Analytics is quite similar to that of quantitative aptitide.
Tips: Probability is very important. Being good only at that may lead to get the internship offer. I strongly recommend to revise JEE probability. If you have done a course, going through that will be better.
Duration: 45 minutes
Round: Technical Interview
Experience: I did internship in NAL banglore based on numerical methods to solve partial differential equations. Interviewer asked about the methods I used, mae me solve a couple of partial Differential Equations analytically as well as numerically. Interviewer being really good at Fluid Mechanics, understood the importance of my internship and also explained different ways PDE's are used in Finance. I had really nice talk about Fluid Mechanics. This interview lasted for 1 hour
Tips: Be very good with your resume and especially your Projects and Internship Experience. They will ask about it in and out.
Round: Puzzle Interview
Experience: The probabiliy questions were sly tough but they will help you through the process. It is about how you approach the problem more than the final answer.
Tips: Again revise your probability concepts thoroughly.
General Tips: Talk to seniors and get valuable advice and do everything they
Skill Tips: Do not panic. Be very honest and tell them if you do not anything. You need not hesitate to ask any kind of questions.
Skills: Analytical , Communication

6 Interview Rounds
Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Test
Experience: Fairly simple questions to be done in the time limit made it a reasonably good test to filter. There was a MCQ test with 15 questions(30min) followed by 2 programming questions(1hr) . The time for coding was ample while that for MCQ was apt.
Tips: Just brush the concepts of pointers, guess the output kind of questions. Basic sorting algorithms. Revision of the graph theory related algorithms will help you through out the selection process(both coding and MCQs).
Duration: 90 min minutes
Total Questions: 15+2
Round: Group Discussion
Experience: It was a beautifully constructed knapsack problem. They would want to see the way you approach the problem rather than the solution. They would help you if you are stuck.
Tips: Just stay cool , don't try to classify problem into the theorems or similar problems that you have come across before, rather see how you can approach, basically don't be in a hurry to apply all that you know.
Duration: 40min minutes
Round: Technical Interview
Experience: Popular questions again, they were particular about writing proper code and not just the pseudo code.
Tips: Just revise what you've done already if you are from cs, for non-cs I would advice to get thorough with standard things in graph theory , with coding as well theory , helps quite a lot.
Round: Behavioural Interview
Experience: The person that was interviewing was trying to discourage me by not paying attention
