6 Interview Rounds
Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Test
Experience: Type of questions and details: Normal aptitude questions. Usually cutoff goes around 50, so you can estimate that it is about speed and not your intelligence.
Duration: 60 minutes
Total Questions: 60
Round: Group Discussion
Experience: For group discussion they’ll ask recent topics, so a general knowledge of what’s happening and your ability to speak will take you through. There were 8 of us.
Tips: 1. Use moments of pause to deliver your ideas
2. It’s good to start the discussion and frame it, but it is not essential
3. Always put points, Flipkart doesn’t asks random topics so speaking absurd ideas will not be beneficial for you.
4. Always take note of what others are telling, they’ll ask you to conclude
5. If you’ll enter in an arguments, you are out of the discussion
6. Keep your nerves under control and deliver what you got
Duration: 30-60 minutes
Round: HR Interview
Experience: It was a Skype interview.
Tips: What went well for me was that I made some really good suggestions regarding the company like:
1. They should have live chat support
2. Option to try 2 items before buying 1 of them (in clothes and footwear)
3. No. of warehouses should be increased to assure faster delivery
General Tips: Read newspapers regularly (it really helps)
1. Don’t get into an argument in GD
2. Always speak points (casts good impression)
3. Speed is essential to qualify the test
4. Don’t panic and keep you nerves under control
5. In Case studies don’t jump to a conclusion immediately (ask them for
more and more information until you see you have considered all the
factors, then conclude)
6. Solve as many puzzles as possible so that the one you get in interview, you’ve solved already.
Skill Tips: Some MBA courses which have case studies might help. Doing probability and statistics is strongly recommended.

Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Group Discussion
Experience: Flipkart had three profiles operations, analytics and coding. After the first shortlisting, they organized GD in the groups of ten. Moderator asked the candidates to speak one at a time. Finally 36 candidates were shortlisted for the interview.

Experience: Round 1: I was asked to list out the factors that make an ecommerce venture successful. This was followed by “Why would ecommerce be successful in India?” .

2 Interview Rounds
Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Technical Interview
Experience: In this interview they asked me questions about how e-commerce works and how flipkart can strengthen its position in the market. The answers which I gave were very general with common sense coming into play. The interviewee was impressed my answers and selected me for the next round.
Round: HR Interview
Experience: The next interview was an HR one and the panel grilled me on my resume. He also asked me questions about my
future goals, my strength and weaknesses etc. I was fully prepared for them and was very confident. Finally they offered me the job. The important point here was that one must be very much sure about the points written on his resume and should be to speak for 1-2 minutes about each sentence if asked for.
General Tips: Learnt from seniors and alumni what companies from different sector (Consulting, finance, core etc) looks for and prepared my resume accordingly. This also helped me to realize that my profile was weak for finance sector which requires a lot of preparation and hence I was less focused on this sector. Next I started preparing for aptitude test and practiced with the Career Launcher CAT test material (any coaching institute material would suffice). Next I started preparing for case studies through various books listed on SPO’s website. With the help of friends/wingmates I practiced different types of case studies in a proper interview like environment. Newspaper (economic times, hindu) reading were also an important part of my preparations, they kept me inform on various issues and they also gave me an idea of facts and figures essential for consulting firms. At the same time I also started preparing for HR interviews. After the results of various companies aptitude test were declared I fine tuned my preparations accordingly.
