Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: The aptitude test was conducted just after the PPT. It was a fairly simple multiple choice written test with three sections: Quant,Data and Verbal.
Tips: One of my friend who was preparing for CAT 2015 told me that majority of the questions were lifted from previous year's CAT papers. So it won't hurt to prepare from them if you are aiming for this company.
Duration: 40 minutes
Total Questions: 30

Round: Guesstimate Interview
Experience: Company released a shortlist of around 68 candidates based on the aptitude test. All 68 candidates were interviewed on Day 1 of the placement process. We were allocated buddies from the companies who gave us an idea of what the interview process will look like.

Interview Experience:
The problem statement given to me was ambiguous and the interviewer seemed very grumpy. I tried to clarify as much as I could, and kept thinking aloud. I started by writing a simple formula for my estimation. I followed the normal approach as you will for any guesstimate. The answer that I got was not even near to what you would expect, but I told him that I might have overestimated some of the numbers because of which I am getting the wrong answer.
Tips: 1. Stay calm and give your best: Just after the interview, I panicked as I thought they won't shortlist me for the next round as I goofed up on the final answer of the guesstimate. However, because my approach was right, they selected me for the next round .

Round: Case Study Interview
Experience: The case study was very simple, and after clarifying the question and providing a rough structure to the case, the interviewer provided me with all the data even before asking for any.
What he tested was:
1. Basic Structuring of the case
2. Accurate calculations based on the data that was provided
After the calculations, he asked me for the synthesis on the case and recommendations.
Just after this, he asked me to analyze my strengths and weaknesses. As I was done answering this question ,he extended me an offer on the spot and I was not required to go for the third round. :)
Tips: 1. The case study is very very simple, just make sure that you structure the case well and do not make any mistakes on calculations.

General Tips: 1. Stay Calm and prepare well : I started my preparation on 25th December, and prepared case studies and a lot of guesstimates for the next 5 days
2. Do not look where other students are getting shortlisted: I was the first one who was extended an offer on Day 1 Slot 2, whereas all the other hotshots(OPCs,Core Team) etc were still struggling with their first rounds.
3. Prepare dedicatedly: For Indus Insights, simple guesstimates and simple case studies will suffice.
Skills: Ability To Make Quick Calculations, Aptitude
College Name: IIT Kanpur
Motivation: 1. Consulting profile
2. Great opportunity to interact with clients across different verticals.

Round: Test
Tips: A general aptitude written test was there. It is a bit more difficult as compared to other screening tests.

Round: HR Interview
