Experience: 2 rounds of interview - 1. Finance 2. Marketing
We were randomly given first round from the above. Finance was core Finance- reading Financial statement and analysing it, general view of current situation of the Economy. Finance terms. I cupped badly but I think I made an impact by showing that I did not know what terms were important and give a rough idea. Spoke a lot and freely.
