Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: The company was recruiting for three profiles – Software, Analytics and R&D. They took two tests. The first test was compulsory for all. The second test was for the R&D profile. On the basis of the score they short-listed me for the Research and Development profile.

Round: Interview
Experience: The interviewer asked me to take him though my resume and then asked about my thesis and projects. Then there were several questions on probability (the ones I had got wrong in the test paper!) and computer algorithms.

Round: Interview
Experience: I was selected in Fair Isaac (R&D). They use Genetic Algorithms (GAs) in their finance work. I have done many projects in GAs and also have some papers published. I think that helped me a lot in getting selected.

General Tips: The Decision Making Process:
Like most people at IITK, I was in a dilemma of what to do after my graduation. Broadly, I had two options in front of me – Core (PhD/Job) and Non-Core (MBA/Job). I had already had some research exposure. I had worked on some good research projects during my internships and also at IITK. Although I thought I was good at research, I wanted to explore working in a corporate environment as I had never done that before. Also, the life as a PhD
and thereafter, seemed less action packed and less dynamic for me. Maybe I could do it at a later part in my life, but for now I decided to explore the Non-Core sector. I was looking for a company which would give me business exposure as well as an opportunity to learn and develop my skill set.
Amongst the non-core sectors, Consultancy with its varied exposure seemed the best to me. I thought FMCG gave a wonderful leadership experience and was my second preference. Finance involved too much numbers and probability (something I’m not good at). But still it was my third preference (amongst the options available) as I am quite interested in the financial world. Analytics and then IT followed. Despite the heavy pay-package, the Oil sector did not attract me a lot. I did not prepare for it but still applied as we had very few good options this year.

Experiences:
1. In general, I would say that my preparation was good as 5th year had a lot of time.

2. It’s fun to prepare, especially HR and giving and taking mock interviews.

3. Shocks and Surprises – I was told that anything can happen during placements and it turned out to be true. The McKinsey shortlist came out in early October and I was not short-listed. I had not expected this at all and had even started practicing case studies long before. This left me really disappointed.

4. Try to do things early, November gets really busy – End Sems, CAT, Revise everything (I was not able to revise Fluid Mechanics).

5. Prepare for tests well, they matter a lot – if you score very well in the test (top few), the interview process would just check that you can talk, solve puzzles and you are interested (you will join). Besides, sometimes it is difficult to judge who is better by the interview process – the tests score matter then as they are the only objective score that they have (apart from CPI).

6. Know Probability well – learn Probability and Statistics and maybe even Stochastic Processes if you have not done these courses and you want a job in Finance/Analytics.

7. Don’t just prepare for consultancy / finance / FMCG – less than 10 people got placed in these companies. Prepare for other companies as well. Have a backup plan ready and do not lose hope, the scenario is bad – it’s not your fault – things will improve!
Skill Tips: 1. Make a good resume – bug your seniors.

2. Practice for aptitude tests – otherwise the one’s preparing for CAT have distinct advantage.

3. Improve communication skills – do lots of mock interviews and GDs.

4. Hope for the best and prepare for the worst – the scenario is bad – even the best can be in for a long placement season, and feeling bad about it will only make matters worse – it’s just your first job – in the long run of your career, these fluctuations won’t matter; what will matter is, how you handle these fluctuations.

3 Interview Rounds

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: Questions on C++(Virtual fns, inheritance). Two on probability, 12 on Algorithms.

Round: Other Interview
Experience: There were 4 rounds to my interview.

Round 1(Madhuresh Agrawal):
He asked a lot of puzzles. Apart from knowing how to approach a problem, you should also know the mathematical reasoning for their correctness.

Round 2 (Abhishek Gaurav):
He asked some more puzzles and some probability (expectation) questions. Then, he modified one question asked in the written test and asked me write code for it on paper.

Round 3 (Anand Sinha):
He asked questions related to graphs. Several times, he tried to trick me by asking questions like "How would you tell whether a graph has a node with n degree?" whereas no node can have degree = n.

Round 4 (Anand Sinha):
He asked me write 2 programs: 1. Given k and DFS traversal string for a k-ary tree, construct the tree. The String contains P (if a parent) and L (if a leaf). E.g. - k=3, str="PPLLLLL" 2. All the strings are arranged in the following order: A,B,..,Z,AA,...AZ,BA,...,BZ,... That is, first according to length and then according to alphabet (assume there are k alphabets instead of 26). Now, given a string, finds its position in the mentioned sequence.
Tips: First of all, prepare all the questions asked in the test before going for the interviews.

General Tips: Well, for my story, I'll start right from the 3rd year. For me that was the time when I started thinking about what to do after graduation. Believe me, this is the toughest and the most important question that needs to be answered. For most people, they have a clear idea about what they want to do in future. But, if you are not one of those lucky ones, you should really spend some time thinking about your future. There are of course, some people who are confused and try their luck at everything. Take my advice, don't be that person. You would
end up nowhere that way. Now, the question remains, how to decide which way to go. Well, being an IITian, we all are good at problem solving. I tried something similar here. Try to know more about the various options available to you. To name a few: MBA, Civil Services, PhD, Job (core, IT, Consulting, Analytics, Finance, FMCG), NGO, Journalism etc. Although I've mentioned MBA and PhD in the list above, I didn't consider them as options. Those are merely the means for achieving a higher goal. So, I looked at the bigger picture, what I really wanted to do in my life. I attended some of the PPTs (don't worry 3rd yr. students are allowed to attend PPTs). And to clarify my doubts about a corporate life, I also chose a company intern. When I had enough information about my options, I matched them with my likes/dislikes. Now, you shouldn't chase big money unless it is the only thing that you
want. Even simple likings like partying, travelling or free time in evening do matter. If your job doesn't give you all that you won't be happy with your life. And if you are not happy with your job, you won't do well there as well. I didn't apply for McKinsey, ITC or Deutsche bank as that is not the kind of life I want to live. So, choose what you want to be (you may not be able to pinpoint it but at least narrow down your options). Then, find out what you
need to get there. For example, if you want to be a researcher or a professor, you would need
at least a PhD.

Then, came the task of deciding which companies to sit for. Once you know your goal, you can decide what type of companies you want to apply for. Attending the PPTs and the notes I made of them came in handy for this purpose. Don't just look at what company does; find out exactly what your role would be. Then comes the threshold. Shortlist the companies in which you would actually be interested in going. Don't apply in a company which you won't join if you get the job.

4 Interview Rounds

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Other Interview
Experience: So the call came at 8 in the morning. Important note again, the call can come anytime on a predefined date, so be prepared with all your documents, a pen and a few A4 sheets, calculator and calendar. Note down the name of the person calling you. Forgetting the name of your interviewer is a bad sign and it’s not rare to happen as the call may prolong to over an hour, mine being around 75 odd minutes. The interviewer generally decides the layout of the interview so stick to it. Also the interviewer is a HR personnel and he/she will be jotting down each and everything you’ll be saying so think before you speak. At times it may happen that you may be saying something but there will be no response from the interviewer, don’t panic. He/she may be busy writing down your sayings so don’t pause. If it’s awkwardly long, then you can stop and ask for a response.

First fifteen minutes will be the settling time, you’ll be answering questions related to you which won’t be judged, so calm down, relax and have a normal conversation with the interviewer. The next half an hour/45 min will be the one on which they will ask questions related to your work, your achievements and your experiences which will be judged and
noted. The last 15 min will be a general topic will be given to you and your views will be asked about on the topic. Remember, no one is omniscient. So if you don’t know about the topic, you can obviously ask the interviewer to give a general idea on the topic. DON’T GOOGLE. The interviewers are trained people who know when you are reading and saying the answer. It’s better if you give your perspective and the process you take to know and speak about the new topics is better as it will show how you learn as well as give YOUR idea on the topic.

The interview is generally HR based so technical knowledge is not required but it doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t know about your projects. Review your projects, know the nittygritty of your work and describe it in such a way that the person on the other end can understand, appreciate and indulge himself/herself in the talk.
Tips: Once my resume was over, I got a notification from Shell that I will be judged over a telephonic interview. Again an important notice, telephonic interviews are not that easy and simple, as they seem to be. Also in my case it was tough as I was competing against 17 other equally qualified people for one or two positions. Here your knowledge about the company, its background, its requirements come into picture. You should be able to tell why you are better than the others without criticizing them, in fact by showing your true skills in a positive manner.

General Tips: The Preparation:
Since the start, I was reading about the companies coming at IITK, reading about their work, their new challenges, the opportunities that I would have with them. Shell, of all companies, captivated me the most. I came to know about the Gourami challenge from the seniors selected and since I was in dual degree, it also gave me the time to prepare for it.
There are three modes of recruitment in Shell namely (1) Internships (2) Gourami Business Challenge and (3) SRD (Shell Recruitment Day). The most enchanting one as I felt was the 2nd one. But all play and no work makes Jack stupid. So prepare hard, it’s a single opportunity of your lifetime.
First of all, you should work on your resume; it’s your first impression. Prepare a master resume and as many companies have their own format, try to fit into their requirements. Don’t overindulge in various activities if you can’t handle studies with extra curriculars. A good CPI shows your determination towards your academics, which is by far the most important thing in the campus. But two different students with almost same CPI are differentiated on the basis of extra curriculars and internships. So these things are not unimportant.So, resume is a very important part of the application. It should show your abilities to their full extent. Not to mention, it is you telling about yourself in absence. Add your strong points, make it delightful to read, use simple plain English so that a non-technical person is also able to understand. FYI the resumes are generally short listed by HR members so you have to make them understand your skills. Don’t repeat your stuffs, sort out and order your important achievements as per the requirements.

5 Interview Rounds

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: Most of the questions were from DI and Quant. It was a speed test. The questions were easy, just that one had to do the maximum number of questions to qualify.
Tips: CAT preparation will help one to breeze through the test.
Duration: 30 minutes
Total Questions: 45

Round: Other Interview
Experience: It was a 20-minute one to one interview.
It started with the normal question “Tell me about yourself”. I had done my internship in one of the analytics firms, so she was interested in my project. I explained the work and she seemed impressed.

Round: Other Interview
Experience: Again, it was a 20-minute one to one round. The interviewer was interested in my internship project and asked me to explain it.
A few puzzles like the one mentioned were also asked.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: This interview was also a 20-minute one to round.
Another subsidiary of Citigroup had visited the campus the earlier day so she asked me if I had applied for it, I told her “No.” She asked “why ?” .. then I told her “I have my seniors at Citigroup and would love to work with them.” She seemed quite
impressed. She took the names of the seniors. (So if you have seniors in a company who know you, you can always mention their names. It shows you have a keen interest towards the company).

For the non Maths students there was a common question that, “If you were so interested in Maths (Analytics) why you didn’t choose Mathematics and Computing as your branch?”

Round: Other Interview
Experience: It was a 30-minute panel interview. This was a puzzle cum HR interview where all my previous interviewers were present.
Tips: From my experience I could feel they were for recruiting genuinely interested candidates, also recruiting someone who was good at problem solving.

General Tips: I would like to start this article by telling you something about your major concern, and that is “Will this economic crisis has a telling effect on your job prospects ?”. And the answer is both Yes and No. I am a 5th year Mathematics student and have closely seen the placements of 3 batches and from my experience, I can surely say that “One who prepares well , gets through, No matter how tough the situation is". It happened with my batch and your batch won’t be an exception (Unless a catastrophe happens).Dilemma: Most of you guys sitting for placement shall be in your 7th semester which is considered to be one of the most hectic of all the semesters. Many of you might be preparing for CAT, others for GRE, some of you would have got a tough guide for your final year project. So you need to prioritize things. You need to think it through; “A Realistic Self Analysis” always helps. I’ll share what I did. I did join coaching classes for CAT but my first priority always was placements and accordingly I planned and executed things. Getting a 99+ percentile and then clearing the GD and PI’s was too much of a risk for me to take. So this might be one of the better times to go for your MBA but always have other options ready just in case.Resume for Analytics Companies:Most of the analytics companies have a lot of Statistical Analysis and Data Management work. So, candidates having an experience in Data handling are preferred. If some project of yours involved Data Handling, mention it in detail. If you have done some of the applied Statistics courses in the Maths/IME department, mention it in your resume.

4 Interview Rounds

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: There were 4 sections: Maths, Finance, English, DI and Quant, No negative marking. 
The Maths section had questions on basic probability and statistics. Also the Maths section had a higher weight age than the other sections (Questions carrying 3 marks each while other sections had 1 or 2 marks for each question. They were here, offering a quant profile so that justifies the distribution.) 
The DI/Quant (2 marks each) and English (1 Mark Each) section were similar to CAT. 
The finance section had questions on Basic Accounting.
Tips: Anyone who did well in the Maths section could find his name in the shortlist.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: It was a 20-25 minute round. There were 2 interviewers, one of them was the HR manager and the other was a Quant Guy.
In the first question, they stopped me mid way when I mentioned the finance course.
The puzzle was also asked in last year’s interview.
Tips: I’m still not sure about why I did not qualify for the next round but one of the possible reasons was, I had mentioned my short temperedness as my weakness and later I came to know, this is considered to be a highly undesirable trait in the Investment Banking jobs. So be a bit careful while answering this question.

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: DI based questions were asked. Guys preparing for CAT will breeze through the test. Just make a note that the cutoff of Cap One Test is pretty high (Around 22). So try and attempt as many questions as possible.
Duration: 30-45 minutes
Total Questions: 30

Round: Interview
Experience: It was a general HR cum Case interview. 
I had done my internship in one of the analytics companies. So, he seemed interested in the project I had done. Then there was a case “I had to estimate the profitability of a car loan in the city of Texas. Given was the population of
Texas and the Loan amount. Any further data required was to be asked.
Tips: I had breezed through one of my mock interviews a couple of days ago. So I got a bit over confident and made calculation mistakes. These guys are edgy about calculation mistakes and don’t expect you to commit one. So be a bit careful while solving a case.

5 Interview Rounds

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Group Discussion
Experience: We were supposed to come up with a solution whether this subsidy cut should take place or not. Initially everyone was given 1 minute to speak, 12 people in the group and I was the 10th to speak, this gave me sufficient time to think but on the same hand I had to make sure that I say something which the 9 people before me haven’t spoken, so it was a bit tricky. After that the floor was open for discussion for 10 minutes, make it a point that this is not a debate so its not necessary that you take a positions for or against the topic, I had made points both in the favor of the issue and against it and it was appreciated by the moderators.

Round: Case Study Interview
Experience: I had to tell something about myself in not more than 45 seconds, so I focused more on my extra curricular activities and the volunteering work instead of academic achievements which I felt most of the other candidates too had a decent one.

Case: “Delhi airport has a terminal which is being utilized only upto 60% of its potential, still the authorities are planning to make a new terminal, what could be the reason behind it.” There can be numerous reasons to this, I gave a few good reasons and I was through. Like, the international flights are concentrated on a particular time of the day like at the night or early in the morning so during that time only one terminal might not be sufficient. Having more terminals would reduce the transit time and that will result in an efficient use of the runway and would smoothen the air traffic. I gave only these two reasons and tried to explain it in detail.

Round: Puzzle Interview
Experience: It was only me to whom a puzzle was asked and the interviewer assured me that he won't evaluate me on this. The puzzle was “there are 10 lions and a sheep on a lonely green island, sheep can eat grass and survive, lions can also survive on grass but that is they would like to do the least. Lions can eat the sheep but the catch is that which ever lion eats the sheep would turn into a sheep, now I am one of the lions so will I eat the sheep? Assume that all the lions are equally intelligent.” Although I had no clue how to solve this but I went ahead with the problem logically and the interviewer helped me, at the end I answered the question. There could be some tricky answers also to such questions which one should definitely say if you can think of any, like I said that “in the minds of all the lions there would be an element of fear for eating the sheep so I would think a step ahead and eat the sheep and the other lions
don't eat me due to this fear in their minds.”

Round: HR Interview
Experience: As soon as I entered the interviewer said “I remember you”, this was because we had some exchange of views during the ppt. In this round they made all the nine candidates solve the same case. It was about the truck industry in US, I was shown some data and graphs related to various business sectors in the industry and was asked to interpret things like why the profit margins are different in any two sectors, what would be the effect if a Japanese player comes in etc. To answer this having a basic knowledge of the terminologies would help a lot.

3 Interview Rounds

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Group Discussion
Experience: Group of 16 people, the discussion was a bit chaotic so I had to look out for a chance to speak and capitalize on it. Speaking too much won't help rather speak sensible, there were people who just spoke once and were shortlisted.
Having knowledge about various companies helped me lot in putting good examples.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: I did not know answers to most of the questions but they wanted to check my thought process, how logically I can answer the question. They wanted those candidates who would go for an MBA after working for 3-4 years with them, some questions on my family background. At the end again how confident you are with your answers is all what matters.

4 Interview Rounds

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: Contains 2 sections, 1st of math and data interpretation and the other related to market awareness and finance. The former was the most important and it can be easily done in the given time. In my case I also answered the market awareness questions because of which lot of finance questions were asked in the interview.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: It was a combined technical and HR interview. ‘Why DB?’ or ‘Why finance?’ this question was asked to each and every candidate. Since I was the last in the panel the interviewer was bored of the same kind of answers again and again so he literally started laughing when I was answering. But this is where I tried to keep my composure and continued with the answer and at the end he was convinced. Since I had done well in the market awareness section in the written test, they made me solve the remaining questions also. During the interview it all depends on you where you want to direct your interview. If you claim that you know finance then be ready to face some never heard questions, it doesn't matter whether you answer it correctly or not but be confident in whatever you say. They asked me an easy puzzle; make sure that you talk to them while solving telling them what your thought process is. All this done took me to the next round.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: The interviewers were the senior officials of the company and it was an HR round. Very much similar to the 1st round if you remove the puzzles part. I had to convince them that I am really interested in the company.
Tips: Some general tips regarding the company, don't worry if you have a low CPI, you just have to prove your mettle in the test and the interviews and you will be through, girls can feel better as they are given some preference. Before the test and the interviews make sure you know how the market was recently (Sensex, Nifty etc) oil prices etc. Spend some time on the website of the company.

3 Interview Rounds

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: 1st test had only mathematical calculations, since it was only 6 minute test so I did not wasted my time in selecting the questions, I went on and solved the first 25 out of 40. 2nd test had math and DI questions for 30 minutes; I tried to do selected questions this time. Preparations for CAT helped me lot in doing this test. The company had an absolute cutoff in both the tests.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: “Why trading and not aerospace?” the very first question fired on me, I gave a positive answer stating why I find finance more interesting instead of saying anything negative about aerospace. What is 77^3, 141^2 etc some of the verbal calculative questions asked in between, although these are very uncomfortable questions I tried to kept my composure and gave an approximate answer to these questions which was acceptable. Some simple puzzles were asked. After some time the interviewer started pitching for me and telling me stuffs about the company, this is where I was almost sure of an offer. There was no 2nd of interview for me.

General Tips: At the beginning of the 7th sem I had made up my mind that I don’t want to do MS or Phd but I was still confused between MBA and job. So I decided to prepare for both, which later on I realized that there was a lot common in the preparation of the two. After deciding this, the next question that came to my mind was ‘what kind of job I want?’ To answer this question I needed to develop basic market knowledge about the various sectors and the companies in those sectors which I did by regularly updating myself through newspapers, internet, business magazines etc. At least a month before the placements I was sure that I
would apply only for consulting and finance profiles, since there were more than 5 companies on a single day so having a preference helped me focus better and do well in the interviews.

Resumes: It is the very first test of your creativity by any company and is equally important like any interview. I tried to add some spikes in my resume which is required for both consultancies as well as finance. I started making my resume in September and after hundreds of changes and feedbacks from the seniors (which is most important) and it took me more than a month, so start with resume as early as possible.

PPTs: The most important thing that you learn in ppts is the details of the work profile which you won't find anywhere else. It is the best place to get an answer to all the questions in your mind. So I would suggest you to try and attend as many ppts as possible not because of the compulsion in attendance but for its
benefits. In any ppt make sure that the company tells you the breakup of the compensation package as there are many hidden expenses included in the package.

Preparation: This is the most important input in getting a good job. This basically includes 3 things,

Group Discussions: We used to make a group of 8-10 within our department and sometimes in my wing and discussed on any topic for 15-20 minutes. It would be just like a bulla session but in English and an element of formality involved in it. After the GDs the participants gave the feedback to each other which was most important. For GDs try to keep yourself updated with the current affairs coz most of the times the topics are related to recent happenings. And one more thing don’t feel shy or left out, say whatever you want to say even if you think that the discussion is chaotic.

Case Studies: Make a group of 3-4 people one would be the interviewer, an interviewee and the rest to just watch and would give the feedback at the end. Take up any case from the numerous case books available on the LAN and conduct such sessions. How ever tough or easy the case may be you always learn how to structure the problems and the basic knowledge which is applicable in most of the cases. Do solve lot of puzzles, this will further add to your logical thinking. This can be best done while you go to the canteen every night because a discussion can add a lot dimensions to it.

Personal Interviews: The basic mantra for a PI is to show a positive body language, be cheerful and speak confidently. This basically involves the HR questions and questions related to the stuffs written in your resume. This round is conducted by every company irrespective of whether it is a core or a non core company. I prepared myself for general questions and also participated in various one on one interviews with my friends, initially I thought that such interviews with friends won’t be a formal one but I was wrong, it helped me a lot later on.

Workshops: There would be numerous workshops conducted by the companies and the SPO. Don't miss
out on any of them as it is the most easy and effective way to learn.
