Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: Went through a few sample resumes to get some idea.
Round: HR Interview
Experience: Candidates were short-listed on the basis of resumes and then there were three rounds of interviews. Ultimately ML recruited some 7-8 people for three different locations. Only two for Mumbai office I believe. As far as I know, some 10 people made it to the third round.The structuring of interviews was not exactly the same for everyone. People were being interviewed randomly by different panels. Round 1 (2 interviews): Mostly HR. Why ML? Your strengths, weaknesses? Any idea about the job profile. Why do you think you are appropriate for that kind of job? Some stuff about my projects. Round 2 (1 interview): Again HR. Family background. Why finance and not CAT n management? Grilled a lot about IIMs & wanted to make sure I was not interested in doing MBA immediately after BTech which I wasn't anyways. Surprisingly, no questions regarding my apping intentions.
Round: Case Study Interview
Experience: Round 3 (1 long interview): Mostly about finance. Wanted to know how much awareness I had about the terminology. 2- 3 case-studies kind of thing. Again some stuff about the projects that I had done.
General Tips: Be prepared with typical HR questions. Sound convincing as to you want to do nothing but join ML. A little preparation for case studies will help for sure. Also go through the interactive DVD to get some idea about ML. That helped a lot.

Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: I took a lot of help from seniors in making my resume. I had a lot of people review my resume most who were seniors already working in the industry. I think a person should review the resume again and again and again. After making a draft of my resume, I spent 3 days refining it with the help of other people and changed it a total of 25 times at least. I did not take any help from reading material or the internet for making my resume but I think getting it reviewed by so many people made up for it. Attending pre-placement talks is very important. That is one time when you can talk to your potential employers one on one and know exactly what you will be doing in the company. I attended pre-placement talks of all the companies that I was interested in and in my case I had narrowed my list to a few companies to apply to. I talked to my friends and seniors working in various different companies (especially the ones working Investment Banks) in choosing between companies.
Round: HR Interview
Experience: There is a standard list of HR questions in the institute by the name of HLPQ.doc. It helps to look at the standard HR questions and make a mental note of the points you would want to highlight in the answers to those questions. At the same time, memorizing answers is not advisable since it becomes quite obvious to the interviewer that the answers have been memorized.
Round: Technical Interview
Experience: Technical I read up parts of the book Options. Futures and Other Derivatives” by J.C. Hull to prepare for the interviews. I also bought a couple of books from the internet which helped a lot. One of them was Vault Guide to Advanced Finance
Round: Puzzle Interview
Experience: There are many websites to practice puzzles (probability puzzles in my case)
Round: Other Interview
Experience: Quantitative Interviews and the other one had information about the company I was applying to (Merrill Lynch).
Skill Tips: Dressing well is an important part of the interview process. You should create a good first impression. For investment banks, wear a suit especially if you are applying for front office positions. Take a shower, shave and dress neatly (remember you get only one chance to create a good impression). Be nice and courteous to all the people of the company. Reach well before the time of the interview and always carry sufficient copies of your resume along with a notepad and pen
