5 Interview Rounds
Interview Questions
- Q1. How can we increase the profit for this credit card company? (Relevant graph was provided)
- Q2. Increase profit for an e-commerce firm
- Q3. Estimate the sale of Vada Pav in Juhu Beach
Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Test
Experience: The questions were very easy and they were crack-able even if you haven't prepared for CAT. However, a bit of preparation would only help.
Tips: Do CAT questions, if you want to. Aim for accuracy since the paper was very easy.
Duration: 50 minutes minutes
Total Questions: 35
Round: Guesstimate Interview
Experience: I have had thoroughly prepared for guesstimates and hence I was able to crack this easily. Initially I had proposed an inefficient way of estimation. The interviewer then asked me to find another way. This second way was easier than the first and hence we estimated the sale through the second methodology.
Tips: Practice a lot. As can be seen, the question is very vague in its current form. What do we mean by sale - revenue or quantity? What is the time period we are looking at - day or month or year? Asking these preliminary questions make you sound intelligent. Do not miss any opportunity to give an insight into the business. For example, there will be two types of vendors on Juhu Beach - permanent stalls and temporary stalls. Temporary stalls would vanish during monsoon time. Incorporating such simple factors shows your strong analytical skills. Try to leverage your insights in such situations. But, in the end, this will come only after enough practice. So, practice qualitatively. Try to arrive at the number from at least 4-5 different ways. Sit in a group. Think independently. Improve each other's idea.
Round: Case Study Interview
Experience: It was a very basic question, which involved using common sense only. The interview was conversational and the interviewer kept imposing new conditions on the given profit v/s customer segment curve to check how can I think when there are multiple constraints in the problem.
Tips: Practice qualitatively, to hone your common sense. Sit in groups. Do multiple case studies. Analyze each and every case study thoroughly.
Round: Case Study Interview
Experience: I was asked to analyze the customer care section of an e-commerce firm and was asked to write down the cost incurred by this section in a mathematical way. The idea was to identify all the factors that contribute to the cost and then look at the ways to reduce the cost.
It was a typical case interview and was conversational in nature. And, it went pretty smooth.
Tips: Practice qualitatively. Do case interviews. Analyze the same problem from multiple angles rather than solving more number of problems from only a single angle.
General Tips: 1. Get to know what is that the company is seeking.
2. Prepare for it.
Skill Tips: Practice for the specific interviews. That is it.
Skills: Common Sense
College Name: IIT BOMBAY
