5 Interview Rounds
Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: The resume was shortlisted based on the courses done related to economics and finance
Tips: Resume should contain something related to economics or finance
Round: Technical + HR Interview
Experience: Initially we were told that there will be three round of interviews. But on the day of interview it was reduced to a single HR interview. The questions asked was from wherever the interviewer found the words economics and finance. I had done my M,tech project on risk analysis in metro project, a course project on High-Speed rail and took a course on Behavioral economics. They asked only basic level question of details regarding the my project which I was able to explain to them easily.
They were basically looking for candidates inclined to MBA and finance related course and having good communication skills.
Once I completed the interview I felt really satisfied.
The HR personally called me and congratulated me on getting selected and welcomed me to be a part of Deloitte.

5 Interview Rounds
Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: Everyone who applied for the company were allowed to give the test. The test was in similar lines as that of CAT (Quant, DI, LR and stuff).
Tips: Try the TIME material (or any other aptitude test material for preparation), Indiabix is an another website for aptitude tests. The more tests you give the more weak points you'll find and the more you can improve on them.
There are a lot of tips available online (far more better than what I could give)
Round: Other Interview
Experience: They directly shortlisted 7 of us for the interview directly from the test. The interview started with some HR questions and they started asking me stuff to test my problem solving skills like the questions that I mentioned in this section. Later, moved on to ask about my experience at the internship and started walking through my resume for some more questions.
Tips: Just be honest and try not to panic if you don't have the solution immediately. Take a 10 second break if need to think (Trust me, this small break goes a long way if you happen to get stuck somewhere)
Round: HR Interview
Experience: Out the 7, they shortlisted 5 for the 2nd round of Interview. This one was very typical to the HR round. Asked me about my hobbies and went in detail for each one of them and then about my future career plans.
Tips: Be honest. That's it!
General Tips: Be patient. Irrespective of the number of interviews you give, you will eventually get the job that suits you the best.
Skills: Ability To Be Involved In Hands On Work, Ability To Justify, Ability To Express Your Ideas, Ability To Analyse, Entrepreneurial Skills, Problem Solving Abilties, Problem Solving Skills, Aptitude
College Name: IIT Bombay
Motivation: Wanted to get into consulting. Didn't get shortlisted in top tier consults. Deloitte is not bad either and is at par with top consults recently

4 Interview Rounds
Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: Collected all my certificates I received in school and IIT. Went through the resumes of my seniors with similar credentials to check how people have presented their positives. Went through a guide saying Do's and Don ts of a Resume. Consulted my seniors and incorporated their valuable points. I attended PPTs. They are very useful as they tell us about the company, the job profile and other useful information required. All the doubts about the company or the profile can be cleared at this time. I did talk to the employees of the company (mostly last years) to get better info about the company and the job.
Round: HR Interview
Experience: Test and then 2 rounds of interview. For the first round of interview around 60-70 people were shortlisted, for second round 25(approx.) and finally 14 offers were made. It was a general HR interview. The interview started with an informal introduction about the people in the panel. Actually the interview was for 2 profiles 1. Technical 2. Associate Analyst. In this first interview they wanted to know the profile for which the candidate was more suitable. In the panel there were two people, one from Tech. and other from non-Tech. I don't remember much but they surely did ask about my perspective about technology and which profile I want to enter and why? They asked me a guesstimate and it is important that you use paper while solving such a problem. I think the best part about the interview was I was myself and they liked they I was. In fact after the interview I was sure that they'll call me for the next round.
Tips: I think you should be good in case study problems and he should really be interested in consulting. You might not be the best but if you can show how passionate you are about your work, it is enough. I think if you really feel of joining a profession in consulting then you should go for it.
Round: Case Study Interview
Experience: In my final round, he asked me to run through my resume and life in IIT. There I had to perform a small drama for him. Then there was a case study problem where he was looking for my approach and I guess he liked it, that's why I got recruited.
General Tips: Most important thing I realized in my first interview is that when you are going for an interview you are going to be recruited and if that is true then you need to be sure if you want to enter the company. I mean prepare well, this includes:The general questions which are asked in any HR interview. Prepare every minor thing about resume. Think about the doubts you have about the company or the job and clear them when the interviewer gives you the chance. Be yourself in the whole process and just have confidence nobody can stop you.

4 Interview Rounds
Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: I consulted some of my batchmates and some seniors. Saw their resumes also and got a general idea of formatting, structure etc and general googling was always there.I attended almost all PPTs. Too much is not necessary, but Yes you should attend ppts of at least those companies whom you are interested in. it gives you the proper idea of kind of job profile and company and sometimes is decisive if you are not very sure for that company to sit for. I got some materials for case studies etc from my friends only. That material is very common in institute during placements. I also got some from my seniors. I prepared for psychometric test on internet. You can just google for some free psychometric test. Attaching a file which has some fundaes on HR and general interview preparation.
Tips: I would suggest to start writing resume around a week before so that one gets enough time to consult seniors also.
Round: Test
Experience: Procedure started with a general resume shortlist for written test. Written test was CAT based. Interviews were a mix of HR and guesstimates in 1st round followed by case studies in 2nd round
Round: Interview
Experience: This was followed by a shortlist for interview about 52. there were two round of interviews. Around 25 people went for 2nd round and finally 16 offers were made 12 in S&O division and 4 in TI division.
Tips: I believe preparing in groups is always beneficial as you will get to know at what point you are going wrong and for example while discussing case studies or guesstimates, you will get to know different approaches for the same problem. This would definitely help you if in case you get totally new situation during interview.
General Tips: Resume first of all. You never know which point of your resume is of interest of the interviewer. Secondly for a consultancy profile, Guesstimates and case studies are necessary. And general HR questions like about yourself, strengths weakness etc. Be confident. Never come in nbd. Stay cool. Try to keep eye to eye contact with the interview. General Tips Overall, any particular mistake that you committed during the whole process?
Don't under estimate yourself. Have patience.. dont go for any damn company just for the sake of getting a job. Be clear in which kind of companies you are going to sit for. Any key tips for interview-day, viz. dressing, etiquette. From my friends experience, reach on time for interview and switch off your cell phone.

3 Interview Rounds
Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: Fundae session by seniors and a resume workshop by some company. Also, sent resume to some seniors for their opinions and I think this was an important part of it.
Tips: I suggest Pre-placement talks, are a must. What is more important is not to believe the PPTs completely and ask seniors about the level of fundaes (finance/tech/otherwise) and preparation required to crack the company. There is a lot of good material on ATKEARNEY and other website. Other than that I used the material available for years.
Round: Interview
Experience: Final offers in my division were 12. There were two levels of case interviews. The first interview was to judge if I would be suitable for the Strategy and Operations profile or for the Technology and Integration profile. There were two interviewers. They explained to me both the profiles and asked me what I wanted to choose and why. Then asked me some general HR questions like why consulting, why you etc. Then started off with an informal case study. It was about a new company which wanted to start a new low cost airline and had no experience in this market till now. It has two options: either to acquire an existing company or to build up all processes on their own. I was first asked to qualitatively mention what all aspects I would consider. After that they asked me what new things could this company do. They were pretty satisfied with my answers and I was confident of getting listed in the next round. In the next round there was single interviewer who was looking quite senior. Asked some HR questions. One case study about a consumer durables dealer which was again qualitative. Asked some HR questions that's it.
General Tips: Lack of interaction with seniors throughout IIT stay was one thing for which I had to pay. I had no seniors in my wing and I had no fundae of the amount of preparation required.
So make sure that you have certain information.
