Round: HR Interview
Experience: I was one of the last ones to be interviewed so I was under the presumption that I had lost the company. Since, everyone was just asked about their CV, it was important to show my uniqueness in terms of the skill sets and the answers to trivial HR questions.
I complimented their website and said that demonetisation is a boon for the company as there would be more digital currency transactions. I was asked technical questions because I had mentioned those terms in my CV. For most of the other candidates, no technical questions were asked.
Tips: Stay calm, confident and sharp. It is important to know about the company and why you would be a good fit. Saying the right things at the right time is paramount in bagging an offer.

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: The test was conducted online by Cocubes. 20 questions were from Quant+DI, 10 from LR, and 10 from Verbal+RC. Out of some 600 students who took the test, around 80 students were selected for the next round.
Tips: A sincere effort for CAT would definitely help you get through the test.
Duration: 45 minutes
Total Questions: 40

Round: Technical + HR Interview
Experience: Each round of interview covered case interview, guesstimates, puzzles and CV based questions. There was no separate HR round as such. Each round went for some 30-40 minutes.
Tips: Walk the interviewer through your thought process while you are solving puzzles or guesstimates. It is always beneficial to practice a lot of puzzles from different sources and hence get a common puzzle in the interview than to solve a completely new puzzle on the day of the interview. Because practically, an average student can't solve any of the 4 above-mentioned puzzles in 2-3 minutes, if (s)he hasn't faced it earlier.

Round: Technical + HR Interview
Experience: This round of interview was taken by a senior official. It was more of a stress interview, where I was being asked to come up with a number of different approaches to solving a given guesstimate question.
Tips: Keep calm. They are concerned about your approach. Make sure you are communicating properly.
