Deloitte Consultant Interview Questions, Process, and Tips for Freshers

Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: All the applicants were asked to send in their resumes which were screened and candidates were shortlisted based on that for the next round
Tips: The resume should be prepared according to the profile one is applying for. It should present you as a person fit for the role by highlighting the relevant skill set and qualities one would look for in a consulting analyst e.g problem solving skills, abiity to work in a deadline oriented environment, etc.


Round: Test
Experience: The shortlisted candidates were given a topic about the relevance of the current education system and were allotted 15 minutes to think and submit a write up with their views on the topic.
Tips: One should be very crisp and articulate when penning down their thoughts on the subject. Since the time given was pretty short it should be utilised to not give a very vast background but instead focus on the main topic making very clear what your stand on the topic is. Further the views can be substantiated with certain real life instances.


Round: Technical Interview
Experience: I was asked to talk about the project I worked on in my internship. Since I had interned in a wealth management company I was further questioned about other investment options keeping in mind the current scenario and which mutual funds in India have consistently shown a good performance. After that, the interviewer gave me a situation wherein I had to determine whether it would be profitable to open an airport in Agra and cross questioned one the basis of my answers. Besides this, I was asked certain course related questions and the interview finally ended with some HR questions like reasons for joining the firm, my long term plans, etc.
Tips: A candidate should be confident about his answers. You should not uncertain in front of the interviewer. Moreover, one should not make the mistake of lying about any project or initiative because you can always be further questioned on that.

Round: Other Interview
Experience: The interview was started on a very informal note. After a very brief introduction, he asked me my internship experience and later with the two questions mentioned above.
Tips: 1. Be confident.

Round: Case Study Interview
Experience: The moment I entered the hall, was surprised to see that the panel had 3 members. Anyways, they gave their brief introductions and made me feel comfortable.

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.
