Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: It was easy and try to practice daily, you can easily crack the test. I guess around 100 people has given the test and 65 got shortlisted for interviews.
Tips: Indiabix is a very good website, it helps in getting better and better by giving mock tests.
TIME materials

Duration: 60 minutes

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: Basically i thought of getting into a field of data analytics but they did not come here for data analyst. He asked me questions related to quantitative finance. Since i had financial engineering course in previous semester so it was bit easy and i didn't even prepare particularly for finance. Anyways finance knowledge is not mandatory, if you have it is an added advantage. I answered every question very confidently, so it created some good impression. All that matters is how confidently you are answering the questions (important questions are puzzles and guesstimates) with a smile on your face. The interviewer is so kind and that really boosted me up. Then he asked about coding, i told frankly that i'm not interested in coding but i know analytical languages like SAS, R etc., and in case if you want i can learn coding. Overall it was a great experience.
Tips: Heard on the street book and geeksforgeeks for puzzles
Have some idea on guesstimates(from Quora)
John C Hull book for finance

Round: HR Interview
Experience: It was basic HR questions and i know that i will surely get selected for this company after my technical interview so easily answered them. Finally as i hail from Visakhapatnam(South) so she asked me any issues working in Gurgaon? I told i don't have any problems and i'm pretty fine with that. And most important thing ask some questions after the completion of your interview. Thanks and good luck. Hence i got selected as Business Analyst in financial services. 9 people got offers from those 65 shortlisted people.
Tips: Do not get nervous & Put a smile on your face.
Be confident you will surely get selected.
Thanks
