College Name: NIT WARANGAL

Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: I had a standard resume for this company as per our institute placement cell norms.
I usually changed my “Areas of Interest” as per the company profile. For Deloitte I laid emphasis on my extracurricular activities and feel it is especially beneficial if you highlight points where you have worked in a team, shown leadership or have done something new or out of the box.
An idea about what work the person has to do for the profile may also seem beneficial.

Round: Test
Experience: I had prepared for CAT (MBA entrance test for IIM’s) and it helped a lot in the written test. It basically helped in clearing tests for Deloitte (as well as ZS Associates). The tests for these companies were conducted by AMCAT (which is a organisation which helps students prepare for CAT). So preparation for CAT would certainly help in clearing the written test for these companies.

The first round was the written test of 60 minute duration. There were three sections in all; two of those were aptitude and the third was English. Some students faced difficulty because they got a lot of questions from Permutation and Combination. Having prepared for CAT exam earlier I found this written test comparatively easier and no special preparation was required.

Round: Group Discussion
Experience: The second round was a group case study. The candidates were divided into different groups. Each candidate of the group was supposed to play the role of an expert in a particular area. Then a business problem was given to the entire group and 3 minutes were allotted to discuss the problem. The group was supposed to finally come out with a feasible solution after studying the different aspects of the problem.

The case given to our group was about a medical centre that wanted to convert the patient data into soft copy from the existent hard copy storage including data like X-ray results and so on, and then send this data to the patient over the internet in form of electronic mail. We as an expert panel were expected to find the problems that might be encountered during this process and consequently come out with feasible solutions to tackle the same. A lot of possible issues were discussed – the major ones being that of the financial burden of the entire process, getting contacts of patients who had been treated in the past, the man power required for process and how to dispose off the present hard copies of the data.

There were 10 people overall in my group out of which 6 qualified for the next round.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: The next round was the personal interview round. They asked me whether I knew C++ and I replied yes. Since I had revised C++ thoroughly, I was confident. One of the questions they asked me was to write a program/algorithm that gives the Fibonacci series as the output. Some HR (Human Resource) questions were also asked like ‘Since you belong to the N.C.R. region would you be able to adjust to living in southern India.’ These questions were mainly aimed to check my interest in the company. The technical questions that I was asked were very simple. They did not have in depth knowledge about the domain of my project and I feel the main aim of asking questions about one’s projects is to check the dedication towards the task in hand.

General Tips: If you are interested in working in a sector not related to your core area of study, then this company is a very good choice. A good knowledge of C++ and fluency in speaking English is a must to get selected in Deloitte.
College Name: IIT ROORKEE
Motivation: Most of the information regarding the company was obtained by attending the Pre Placement Talk. The company has been visiting the campus for many years and has a good reputation amongst the students.  It will be good if one knows what actually he has to do in the profile offered as it would be an added advantage during the personal interview round.
