Duration: 10 minutes
Total Questions: 10

Round: Group Discussion
Experience: The group discussion round had the following topic: “Electric Vehicles – the future market scenario in INDIA”. In this round they tried to see our knowledge of the current affairs and how we spoke to justify our points and how we responded to the points put by others.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: The interview round after the GD was a complete HR interview with no questions asked from the technical side. They asked me about myself, my strengths and weaknesses, about what motivates me and some questions on morality/ethics etc. They asked me about my family values and about my upbringing as well. Besides the normal HR questions they also asked me which particular area would I be interested in working in, if selected for the company and why? The also asked me what impressed me about the company. There are many other consulting firms but why Frost? I told them I follow football so they asked me about my favorite team, captain and players and also about the latest updates of the football world.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: It was primarily an HR interview. They asked me about my career plans, where do I see myself in ‘n’ years and also about my views on relocation, frequent travelling, working on weekends and in rural areas. Besides these regular HR questions they also asked me about why do I want to join Frost and Sullivan and why don’t I want to pursue MBA.

Round: Case Study Interview
Experience: Keep calm. Do not make the interviewer think that you are tensed.
Heavy importance was given on numbers and interpretation on numbers.
Tips: 1.Candidate should start with understanding the case completely as a lot of information was given and explained. Any relevant Pharmaceutical words used in the case have to be clarified and no assumptions are to be made.
2.As the case had lot of information, it was necessary to isolate useful information from the irrelevant information.
3.Since the case included numbers and calculations, the calculations should be done correctly at the first time itself (time can be taken to compute the numbers).
4.Interpretation of the graphs is extremely important (and there were only few graphs). Pay close attention to X and Y axes and their units.
