Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: There was no shortlisting as such on the basis of resume. Everyone was allowed to sit for 1st round which was a written test. In this round we were supposed to solve 30 questions of calculation in 5 minutes. I think those who managed to solve above 20 were shortlisted for next round which was an aptitude test.

There were 30 questions in 30 minutes. Aptitude portion was a bit tougher than all the previous tests of other companies. The questions were numerical calculations and quantitative aptitude. I could solve 22 questions only. People who managed to solve above 15 were shortlisted. 35 people were shortlisted after this round.
Duration: 5 minutes
Total Questions: 30

Round: HR Interview
Experience: After the written test I went through two rounds of interview. The questions were not company specific but were very generic. They wanted to explore the personality of the candidate. The questions asked included:

Questions about my strength and weaknesses
Ability to handle pressure and crisis situations
Examples where I have worked in a team and had shown leadership skills

As I had a good CGPA they grilled me a lot by saying that I was not suited for the company and asked me to justify my stand and why I felt I would be suitable for the company.
Overall I believe that if a candidate wants to get into the company he should be able to justify why he wants to be a part of the company. Also he should be able to quote examples of teamwork and leadership.

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: The company’s selection process was open for all candidates who had joined the institute through JEE (Joint Entrance Examination). They conducted a written test which was purely based on testing one’s ability to do quick calculation and proficiency in analytical skills. The test had around 30 questions which were to be solved in thirty minutes. Thereafter the selected candidates where asked to go through another round of written test with a higher level of difficulty. The questions could be answered easily if you have had sufficient practice of mathematics.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: After the written test there were two sets of personal interview taken by two different panels. They were checking my personality and my ability to fit into their team. They asked me about my extra-curricular activities and how it has shaped my thought process and my personality. They were really particular about one question which they asked from all the candidates – ‘Why do you think you are more suitable for the company than other candidates?’ They also asked me few generic HR questions about me, my strengths and weaknesses etc.

Round: Stress Interview
Experience: The interviewer tried to create stress from the minute I entered his room.After formal introduction about myself ,he asked me few questions about the courses I did in finance.He started to argue that I am wrong with one of my answers in Accounting,but I was quite sure that I am right.He asked me to prove that I am right.I requested him to allow me to go back to my room and get that accounting book.He allowed me to leave and said that I need not come back if I am wrong.I had a few tense seconds and then I decided to leave as I was quite sure about my answer.I got that book from my room and ca,e back to prove that I am right.He was impressed with my confidence and risk taking ability.He went on to ask me about global economic situations,the crisis of 2008 and some other general questions.
Tips: I don't think there will be such an emphasis about finance in the interview.I had few courses and I initiated the conversations as I had prepared to talk about them.It will be a stress interview and they might test you with puzzles and numbers in the middle of the interview.Be calm,confident and honest.

Round: Stress Interview
Experience: The second interview started and there was an awkward silence for the next 5 minutes(The longest 5 minutes I ever had till then).The interviewer was looking at his phone,ordered for a coffee and then had a look at my resume.Then, he remained silent for the next couple of minutes again after which he finally started conversing with me.He told me a 10 digit number
