Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Group Discussion
Experience: Flipkart had three profiles operations, analytics and coding. After the first shortlisting, they organized GD in the groups of ten. Moderator asked the candidates to speak one at a time. Finally 36 candidates were shortlisted for the interview.

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: The interviews were held based on the profile we chose and we were asked questions accordingly.

General Tips: 1. I was inclined in clearing CAT from my second year onwards.
2. I did a summer project in the second year and simultaneously joined Career Launcher.
3. I didn’t prepared much for the placements and was only focussed on CAT preparations during the seventh semester.
4. I did not give as much time in resume building as given by mates since I knew that I have nothing to mention about except my CPI.
5. CAT preparations helped me strengthen my aptitude and quant skills.
6. I was able to clear the tests of various companies just with my CAT knowledge.
7. I practised maths for entire month and was pretty confident in English and a week before the main exam, I did one or two mock papers daily.

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: 200 people sat for the aptitude test, which was conducted after CGPA based shortlisting for people who had submitted CVs.
Tips: Presence of mind, decent communication skills, creativity are at most required. It’s a long test, and each section has a separate cutoff. Manage your time well.

Round: Group Discussion
Experience: An interactively moderated GD Session on a general topic (We had ‘’Buy one get one free’’, ‘’I’’ and so on). Two people were chosen by the mod to conclude at the end.
Tips: Take initiative, and make sense when you speak. Don’t meander on be concise and choose your words wisely. A great way to get noticed in this round is to make NEW points, points which give a new direction to the discussion. Only acting as a moderator may not be the best idea. Bring new points to the table. Don’t be intimidated by others at the table. Don’t be loud and incoherent. Be courteous to the others. Remember that the aim is to contribute to a fruitful discussion, and not to debunk points put forward by the other guys.

Round: Interview
Tips: Be thorough with your CV, and be ready to defend against doubts raised about what you’ve written. You should have a basic idea about the company - you will be asked questions about the industry in general and Flipkart specifically.

Round: Interview
Tips: Be honest (atleast seem honest!) and be prepared for general HR questions. Don’t frame your CV in a way that shows that you might be aiming for an MBA (like mentioning a high GMAT score) or an MS/Ph.D (overloading with research projects and the like).

General Tips: Be prepared with some solid research on this growing company (atleast I hope it keeps growing by the time you’re reading this!), and some basic HR questions/puzzles. Know your CV well, and appear confident and relaxed (pretty general funda I know but don’t get stressed). There’s nothing very specific you can do to prepare, so just give it your best shot as yourself. All the best!
Skill Tips: CGPA was an initial cutoff. 7.75+ should be peace. Yes, extra-acads are definitely looked at. Be sure to list out your achievements when you mention a particular position/activity. Aptitude test requires basic CAT skills. No coding skills required for the Management Trainee profile. Decent internships will definitely help your case. You are asked questions on what your work was during the internships and how you achieved goals.

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: Type of questions and details: Normal aptitude questions. Usually cutoff goes around 50, so you can estimate that it is about speed and not your intelligence.
Duration: 60 minutes
Total Questions: 60

Round: Group Discussion
Experience: For group discussion they’ll ask recent topics, so a general knowledge of what’s happening and your ability to speak will take you through. There were 8 of us.
Tips: 1. Use moments of pause to deliver your ideas
2. It’s good to start the discussion and frame it, but it is not essential
3. Always put points, Flipkart doesn’t asks random topics so speaking absurd ideas will not be beneficial for you.
4. Always take note of what others are telling, they’ll ask you to conclude
5. If you’ll enter in an arguments, you are out of the discussion
6. Keep your nerves under control and deliver what you got
Duration: 30-60 minutes

Round: HR Interview
Experience: It was a Skype interview.
Tips: What went well for me was that I made some really good suggestions regarding the company like:
1. They should have live chat support
2. Option to try 2 items before buying 1 of them (in clothes and footwear)
3. No. of warehouses should be increased to assure faster delivery

General Tips: Read newspapers regularly (it really helps)
1. Don’t get into an argument in GD
2. Always speak points (casts good impression)
3. Speed is essential to qualify the test
4. Don’t panic and keep you nerves under control
5. In Case studies don’t jump to a conclusion immediately (ask them for
more and more information until you see you have considered all the
factors, then conclude)
6. Solve as many puzzles as possible so that the one you get in interview, you’ve solved already.
Skill Tips: Some MBA courses which have case studies might help. Doing probability and statistics is strongly recommended.

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: The test was for around an hour. It consisted of quant and verbal sections. The questions were fairly simple, just the basic math and verbal understanding would suffice.
Tips: Just the basic math and verbal understanding would suffice.

Round: Group Discussion
Experience: All the students shortlisted from the exam were divided ito 3 sets and 3 GDs were conducted. Each GD had 8 students. It lasted for 30 minutes I guess. My GD topic was way too vague. It was “Lies, Damned Lies and Statistics”. One thing that will help in a GD especially when you are not sure about the topic (like my case) is to listen patiently to others so that you get an idea as to what the topic is exactly about.
Tips: A strict NO to cutting on someone when he/she is making a point and shouting in a loud tone. Both these indicate that you are not fit to be in a team and you are slightly dominating types respectively.

Round: Interview
Experience: One was completely based on puzzles and case studies.

Round: Interview
Experience: The other had a guesstimate and some HR questions. My guesstimate was to come up with number of vehicles on the Chennai roads between 5 to 6 in the evening. I was asked this because my resume had some decent points about my work and interest in transportation engineering. You need to have some decent knowledge on basic figures like the population of Chennai or India etc.,
I was asked some basic questions on Inventory model as I had mentioned that my minor was IE.
Tips: To be able to do these guesstimates well. Obviously speed in basic calculations will help.

Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: Initially the exam was planned to be conducted for everyone but due to some tech issues and time constraints they came up with CG based shortlisting for the exam at the last minute. After that, shortlisting in every other round was performance-based.

General Tips: 1st years- Explore everything in insti and try to know what you real interests are but never ignore ACADS.
2nd years- Try to decide on what you want to do after graduating. Depending on it start doing things, like putting fight for relevant PoRs or taking up projects if interested in or atleast considering apping.
3rd years- Start preparing for CAT, GRE, ToEFL Whatever it is, be placements, go for an MBA in IIMs, app; CGPA matters. So never ignore acads.
Skill Tips: They were not really looking for any specific electives or courses but OR fundaes would help. Most importantly, you must be in a position to explain everything that you put in your resume perfectly especially your final year project.
Skills: Good Resume , Quantitative Skills, Analytical skills, Communication Skills, Current Affairs, verbal skills

Tips: Basic GD skills were tested.

Round: Interview
Experience: Initially only 1 round of interview was happening but then they started taking two interviews. Both were HR resume based interview. As my highlighted point was Operations Research, more questions were asked from that area. Certain puzzles were asked. Basically it was not a stress interview.

General Tips: 2nd year: Concentrate on CGPre final years: Make a story out of your life. Don’t mug it but have the bullet points. Be genuine do not make up stuff.
Skill Tips: I think my projects in OR helped. I knew about the company and when they asked me how I could contribute I answered it well. Apart from that my projects in OR and my answers were liked.

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: Since I was preparing for Cat 2015, My quant aptitude speed was above average. This helped me in cracking the test.
Tips: Do prepare for Cat. Even though one is not seriously considering it, it would help in cruising through the aptitude tests during placement.

Round: Group Discussion
Experience: During my GD, I came up with a few points, but they were too mainstream and nothing which would make the instructor notice me.I remember one boy stated that if India changes to Hindustan, We would be kept in the league of terrorism Stricken nations like Afganistan, Pakistan.I immediately Countered that such thinking is shown by narrow minded people,whose opinions shouldnt matter to us in first place.I guess that was a winning stroke for me. There were 10 guys, out of which 4 were selected for the next round.
Tips: Flipkart was quite known for taking GD on random topics, Like Blue vs Black, Joker vs Batman.I remember one group was told to choose their own GD topic.In such Cases, Background Study isnt of much help.It all comes down to the things one knows inherently, things which are accumulated by ones surrounding .In topics such as these, try to give out of the box solutions, so that the person remembers you during selection.Also, prior GD experience helps one in being calm and collected and to think clearly.

  • Q1. What would you suggest Kishore Biyani against us (Flipkart) to stay in competition?
  • Ans. 

    Kishore Biyani can stay in competition against Flipkart by focusing on offline retail, expanding product range, and improving customer experience.

    • Kishore Biyani can leverage his expertise in offline retail to create a seamless omnichannel experience for customers.

    • Bad approach: Rely solely on intuition or gut feeling without any data or research

  • Answered by AI

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Group Discussion
Experience: Each and every one was given sufficient time to express their opinions but since there are more than 100 guys you are competing with, do try to make an impression somewhere on the mind of the recruiter.
Tips: Nothing specifically, similar to the cliche GDs that all the other firms take but the only point to be kept in mind in case of Flipkart is, from the list of 120 odd people it is gonna come down to 50. So, try to keep that in mind.
Duration: 15-20 minutes

Round: Guesstimate Interview
Experience: It was pretty chilled out, since they will try to help you all along. Difficulty level was okayish, nothing to be afraid of. Slight CV grilling and basic HR questions too were covered in this round. No monsters there.
Tips: Make use of the paper they give you. try to be as graphically illustrative as possible. Think out loud. Make them move along with you, hence if you get stuck up they will be able to help you instantly, saving you some time. Also, this will keep them involved and interested in you.

Round: Case Study Interview
Experience: I took a moment to jot down some points, no one in the the panel seemed to complain(I guess :P). I suggest 5-6 possible strategies and elaborated specifically. Not much counter questioning( Maybe they liked the answer or maybe the question was a meager formality :P)
Tips: Again, nothing to be afraid of. Not the consultancy type cases where framework building and segmentation is necessary. Here they will try to judge your business acumen rather than your 'Case In Point' MuggPower.

Skill Tips: "Keep yourself updated. If you are reading ET regularly and have a fair idea about the case analysis strategies, it will be walk through the cake."
Skills: Communication Skills, Business Sense
