Interview Preparation Tips
Experience: It was a 10-12 minute round taken by two fairly young Analysts. It started with an informal chit chat. I grabbed my opportunity. In my first line I told them that I had done my internship with Lehman Brothers. No wonder the next 5-6 questions were on my internship. There were followed by a couple of questions on swaps, spreads etc which I had mentioned in my resume (Note questions were not out of the blue…I had used these terms in my resume). Finally one question was - You have a decent CPI and are from Maths background so why not go for a PhD? Again talked about my internship with Lehman, the corporate world, professionalism etc.
Round: Other Interview
Experience: It was a 15-20 minute round taken by the CFO and the HR head.
My M.Sc. project was 'pricing of inflation linked pension plans'. There asked question about it. In my answer I used the word 'inflation' and the next question was - what is inflation?
Then I used WPI in my answer and I was told to explain WPI. I explained them the WPI basket...the weightage of the various categories...the base year etc...(They were quite impressed as my answer was complete with all the possible detail).
Next question - apart from WPI which other indices are popular in India...I told them about CPI industrial workers, labour etc.
Next question- What is today's inflation....I explained that inflation is calculated weekly and told them the latest figures.
Next question- why is inflation being talked about these days? My answer- Recently it was at a 13 yr high and RBI has been taking various measures to bring it down.
Next question- how does RBI control inflation? My answer- through open market operations, CRR, SLR, Repo, Reverse Repo.
Next question-what is open market operations, CRR, SLR, Repo, Reverse Repo? I explained them and also gave them the figures (eg CRR then was 6.5%, SLR was 24%...they were pretty impressed). It seemed they were trying to ensure that whatever I said I knew about them completely.
Once they were satisfied with my technical knowledge they asked- Why Investment Banking now that you won’t get hefty bonuses, what do you know about DB, etc. I mentioned DB's strength, its commercial banking, high liquidity etc. I told them that I expect the learning curve to be very steep in these difficult times.

What people are saying about Deutsche Bank
Interview Preparation Tips
Experience: Around 55 students were shortlisted for the final round
Round: Interview
Experience: I was asked by a very senior guy why I wanted to join a finance firm despite of having a good record in chemical engineering. He then asked questions from my resume and we talked about MBA as an option and why I did not want to go for an MBA straight after college. It was more like a discussion.
Round: Interview
Experience: The second panel had 2 people from Corporate Finance and one from Markets. They asked me questions from Chemical engineering, a business study that I had written on my resume and a couple of maths puzzles. The interview went pretty smooth.
Round: Interview
Experience: The final round had 2 senior people from markets and one from Corporate Finance division. They started asking about my internship and how I could relate it to the situation in India. Since my project was on wind energy, they asked me to draw a comparison between wind, solar and thermal energy and which is a better source. They also asked about finances related with the establishment of a wind farm. Then we had a discussion on counseling service, reasons for suicide and what could we do to stop the,. Then they asked about the difficulties I faced in public relations.They were not judging me on finance and were trying to have a conversation with me, testing my confidence.
General Tips: Be calm and you can do well

Deutsche Bank interview questions for designations
Interview Preparation Tips
Experience: There is a standard pattern which most of us follow. I just tried to highlight my strong points as my CPI was not very high. I was good in sports and music, so I made sure that I highlighted them. I did attend most of the Pre-Placement Talks. The one thing which I gained was the exposure.
Round: HR Interview
Experience: As far as HR Questions are concerned, they totally depend on you. Your seniors can always help you out finding answers for them. But I recommend you to think on your own; because that way your honest answers come out and believe me they ALWAYS work however naive they may sound. Nobody expects you to know everything. The fact that you can relate to those answers will boost your confidence as you would be able to defend them well.
Round: Behavioural Interview
Experience: When going in for an interview, its expected of you that you know about the company you are sitting for. So obviously you have to search the net and know few important things about the companies. I prepared for CAT so that took care of the puzzles and quantity part.
Round: Test
Experience: Initially they took a screening exam. It was quant and logical based mainly and few Questions were on market and economics. Some 80 students were short listed. They short listed around 40 students after 1st round of interviews and gave final offers to 22 after 2nd round of interviews.
Round: Other Interview
Experience: The first thing which is asked in an interview is mostly Tell us about you. After that they concentrated only on my extra-currics like football, swimming and singing which was my forte. They asked me general questions about my home town and family. Asked me about my strengths but didn't go to any weaknesses.Then they asked me if I had any Questions for them. I asked a few. This was it for the first one. DBs CEO was taking this interview. He started off with asking Questions from my resume about my projects n stuff. Then he too started asking Questions about my city and family. Questions were mostly the same as the first one. It ended on a very positive note and I came out with a smile.
Tips: Do prepare well for the screening exam, it has a good weightage. Interviews were generally HR type for me but they asked puzzles to few. So preparing them would help too. Overall, any particular mistake that you committed during the whole process? My resume was not well compiled although it didn't matter but I should have taken care of it. Prepare your resume well in advance, it will surely help.
General Tips: I always wear something which I could carry comfortably. I recommend the same for everyone. And also start wearing formals a month before the placement season starts, this way you'll get used to them and would feel comfortable.

Interview Preparation Tips
Tips: At the end of the day, its number crunching. But, in the finance sector, you are your own boss. You would have to come up with ideas and initiatives on your own. They also look for some experience in money markets, econometrics and optimization. Most importantly, the job involves coding experience and knowledge of algorithms and data structures. Again, read the newspaper daily, check out articles on Reuters, Bloomberg, etc. Refer Investopedia to understand the jargon. They seek personal impact and commitment. The resume must be a one-page resume and should be clean and only relevant parts must be highlighted. Your candidature defines you. The resume is your first point of contact. It also gives the interviewer stuff to talk to you about. Always try to show that you are an all-rounder. Use numbers to show impact. Most importantly, they look for a clear reason for why you chose finance. They also look for other hobbies and interests that you have. Prepare algorithms, order of runtime and data structures.
Round: HR Interview
Experience: The objective is to get to know you better.
Tips: One of the most important questions would be “Why finance?”. It all comes down to, would they like to work with you. Try to make them remember you.
Skill Tips: "Exams & Certifications are needed to improve your resume and exam like GRE or CAT will improvise your English skills. Financial knowledge is a must along with coding. Communication : Oral & Written is what looked for by financial corporations."
