Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: This was the first round. Around 120 people were selected after this. The company had asked for filling in a google form to mention all the finance courses/internships/projects/certifications. I think they shortlisted people with some finance knowledge or good CG or good Positions of Responsibility.
Tips: I would suggest everybody to spend the starting of the semester in preparing their resume. And ask for as much reviews from seniors as possible. A good resume is the first step towards your selection. If you are not able to show how talented you are, then its your fault. So, do spend a lot of time in editing and reviewing resume.

Round: Test
Experience: All the 120 people were asked to write 2 short essays in 30 min time. The topics were:
1. Why Finance?
2. What is the importance of "Digital India" in taking India forward?

The 2nd question had 2 choices (I don't remember the 2nd choice). We had to write these answers in one A4 size page in MS Word, and then mail it to company.
Tips: Do prepare for the "Why Finance?" question.
For the 2nd question, be thorough with the recent economic and business news (national and global). You should know how to connect different events in the world to everything.
Also, you need to have good writing and English skills to ace this round.
Duration: 30 min minutes

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: This was a pure technical (finance) interview. They asked me questions from the finance competitions i had participated in. They also asked questions from Macro-economics, valuation multiples etc.
1. How will interest rate cut affect inflation and economic growth?
2. What is DCF? How do you calculate it?
3. Why is D&A added back again in DCF?
4. What are the different Valuation Multiples?
5. Which multiple P/E or EV/EBITDA is more useful from Investor point of view?
6. Tell me about yourself?
7. Higher P/E is better or Lower? same question for EV/EBITDA?
8. Do you follow markets?
9. Do you follow any stock?
10. Why didn't you give CFA?
Tips: I think there is not much needed to prepare for this if you already know what is there is your resume and you have finance knowledge.
For all the other people who don't know finance, this is not the company for you. Because they are going to grill you on anything and everything you say. So be prepared for question from your internships (if you had done any in finance).

Round: HR Interview
Experience: This round was very peaceful. The interviewer asked me basic questions like
1. Why this position?
2. Where do you see yourself in 5 years.
3. Are you thinking of doing MBA?
and basic stuff like that.
Tips: You need to be thorough with the profile you are applying for, why you are applying for it and all the other basic HR questions like why this company etc.

Skills: Analyzing And Problem Solving Skills, Verbal Communication Skills, Writing Skills, Finance
