Allstate Associate Consultant Interview Questions, Process, and Tips

Round: Test
Experience: I just prepared general aptitude from pariksha.co and basic programming ability from the book, "let us c" and "tutorials point-programming" which made me crack the test
Tips: Practice more to improve your speed in tests

Round: Group Discussion
Experience: They gave us three topics and have to choose one of them after some discussion: 1. Artificial intelligence-will man be ever replaced by machines, 2. Introduction of gadgets at an early age of education, 3. Is youth of India confident or confused.
I suggested the introduction of gadgets topic and convinced entire team to choose the topic. Then i initiated the talk and gave a conclusion statement; used some data division to explain my point in the discussion (though i'm not sure if my data is right or not i was confident throughout)
Tips: In any GD:
1. Try to be confident and initiate the GD
2. Try to speak in data oriented way if your profile is related to analytics or consultancy
3. Try to manage the flow of GD according to the defined structure

Round: Group Discussion
Experience: They had shortlisted around 40 people to the Group discussion round from the test. The test consisted of basic aptitude,VA and some coding questions.They had given us 2 minutes to write down the points ans 20 minutes to go ahead with the group discussion. They looked for knoweldge, leadership nature and the clarity in our thoughts during the GD's. They didnot have any limit as to how many people they would select for the personal interview round. Some groups had 6-7 people who had proceeded to the further round whereas some didnot have any.
Tips: Keep yourself updated regarding all the current events. Carry a notebook and write down all the relevant and important points. Also preparing for CAT helps us in clearing the test

Round: Technical + HR Interview
Experience: They asked questions related to coding and cases & guesstimates as well. They also just asked me some core and hypothetical questions to just gauge as to how I would react. They selected if the candidates knew either coding or was good in cases & guesstimates. I personally was not that great on coding.
Tips: Be confident. Practicing case studies and guesstimates would surely help if you are not interested in coding.
