Round 2 - Aptitude Test 

MCAT test was done. There were 5 subject, from which you have choose minimum 3 subjects. I have chosen all 5 subject and cleared the aptitude test. As per my knowledge I didn’t have any wrong answers.

Round 3 - Group Discussion 

In GD I have chosen the topic my City Mumbai. I have gave brief about Mumbai and I talked around 10 mins.
After clearing both the round with good impression, I have been rejected. After asking HR what is the reason, she told you lack communication skills. I don’t understand the logic behind communication for a science student I am showing My IQ to IQVIA but that doesn’t matter to them. If they want good communication hire some MBA graduates. It will save some time. Very bad exercise it was. Since then I never tried in IQVIA
