Interview Preparation Tips
Experience: The test was conducted by cocubes.com. I didn't even clear the aptitude during the on campus process. It's fairly easy though. Attempt at least 13 questions. I think the cut-off was around 10. Around 450 students passed this barrier.
Round: case study
Experience: Some details were provided about a pharmaceutical company. We were expected to write down 3 questions that we deemed important regarding the details provided. Also we were to ask 3 additional questions that would give additional details about the problem statement. (10 minutes). These two rounds were combined and then there was an elimination. Around 100 people cleared these rounds.
Round: video synthesis
Experience: A video featuring Mr.DhirajRajaram (CEO of Mu Sigma) was screened. In the video, he explained the core values of Mu Sigma. We were expected to synthesise the video. Write down three main points about what we got from the video.
Round: Group Discussion
Experience: Our GD was initially based on the video itself. After 10 minutes, our monitor gave us a new topic- Iron Man vs. Super Man. 3 from 8 people were selected. The selection was based on the quantity as well as quality of the matter you spoke. Again, these 2 rounds were combined and then an elimination. At least 50 cleared this round.
Round: HR Interview
Experience: There are scores given to you based on your performance in each round. So after the GD round, if you pass a certain threshold, you'd have only one interview with the senior HR. I didn't, so had to go through 2 interviews. My 1st interview lasted for 65-70 minute. The other half of my interview was based entirely on my resume. Questions about my experience as the Head of Finance for IETE and Udaan'14 were asked. I had to tell him in great details about what did I actually do. What did I learn from my experience and would you recommend your juniors taking up such positions.
Round: HR Interview
Experience: I had to wait for 3 hours for the final interview confirmation. The last interview was a kind of a formality I suppose. Questions like tell me about yourself and my hobbies were asked. Then again resume based questions were asked. I was asked to ask some questions about the company. (Always ask). I asked two questions and I was done.

- Q1. If you were the manager of a company then which kind of team will you prefer, generalists or specialists?
- Ans.
It depends on the company's goals and needs.
If the company requires a diverse skill set, generalists may be preferred.
If the company requires specialized knowledge, specialists may be preferred.
A mix of both generalists and specialists can be beneficial for a well-rounded team.
Consider the company's industry, size, and goals when making a decision.
Regular training and development can help bridge any skill gaps within t
- Q2. I am the owner of a diaper producing company, I raised the price but still my sales are rising, how is that possible?
- Ans.
Price elasticity of demand is low for diapers as they are a necessity for parents with babies.
Diapers are a necessity for parents with babies, so they are less likely to be affected by price changes.
The demand for diapers is inelastic, meaning that changes in price have little effect on the quantity demanded.
Parents may be willing to pay a higher price for a trusted brand or higher quality product.
Competitors may have ...

Interview Preparation Tips
Experience: 15 simple quant and logic questions with negative marking. People who could solve even 10 correctly were able to clear the aptitude round.
Tips: Don’t get stuck on one question. Go further and come back to that question if time permits
Round: VIDEO SYNTHESIs
Experience: You’ll be shown a video clip of around 2-3 minutes from a Hollywood movie.You have to write your inferences about the clip. Please do not summarise For example: We were shown a clip from the movie “2012”. The scene showed the crowd fighting to get on the airplane which was permitted only to the ones with a green card (richer section). Then the main character telling heads of nations about right and wrong. Now to answer this correctly, you can write about the bravery of the man, discrimination between richer and the poorer sections, etc. And incorrect synthesis would be: people are fighting to get on the plane, man is giving a speech, Write at least 3 major points and 2 sub points to support every major point.
Round: Group Discussion
Experience: Groups of 4 were made. Likewise there were around 21 groups. Each group was given a general management based problem, for example, the lowering sales of a so and so company. The group had to discuss about this problem and find a solution. There were 2 people from Musigma to guide during the GD. You can ask them necessary data related to the problem that is not mentioned. This will add to your scoring points.
Round: HR Interview
Experience: Simple non tech interview. Feel free to talk anything.Be prepared for situation based questions such as, if you were the manager of a company then which kind of team will you prefer, generalists or specialists? I am the owner of a diaper producing company, I raised the price but still my sales are rising, how is that possible? Any lame but practically possible answer will do, but let him know that you are thinking. Don’t be quiet whatsoever. Be thorough with your resume because it will be scanned and will be the source to most of the interview questions. In the end, why musigma? Then I asked him few questions about the company.

Interview Preparation Tips
Experience: There would be 15 questions based on general aptitude. Questions are extremely easy with time management being the key to get shortlisted. The time allotted is 25 minutes. Anyone scoring somewhere near 13-14 marks is sure to get selected.
Tips: Prepare Std X Mathematics. Questions are pretty easy. Scoring is +1for every correct answer and -0.5 for every incorrect answer.
Duration: 25 minutes
Total Questions: 15
Round: Problem Solving & Case Study
Experience: I was given a pseudo code with two nested loops to be operated. The code was extremely easy. This round also had a case study. I was given a case of an e-commerce company.
Tips: Coding part is pretty easy. The real elimination might be happening based on the student's approach to the case given. Case study demands each and every facet of the case to be seen and worked upon.
Round: Video synthesis
Experience: I was shown a video on the principles of Mu Sigma and was asked to synthesize the video in three points.
Tips: The key to crack this round is to understand the difference between synthesize and summarize. At times they even show video clippings of some Hollywood movies so make sure you are comfortable with the accent. One need to simply write the 3 key takeaway from the video.
Round: Group Discussion
Experience: I was alloted a team with 8 other people. Mu Sigma's GD is a little different because the moderator becomes an active participant of the GD. My GD went on for more than 45 minutes.
Tips: Just make sure you speak well and deliver worthy points. I spoke only for around 5 minutes in my GD. So the key here is speaking no nonsense.
Round: Technical Interview
Experience: The interview round is the final round of selection. Questions were primarily based on my resume.Mu Sigma has this policy of maintaining your marks of each and every round. So suppose you score low in the case study, you might be asked to solve another case study in your interview.I was made to debate on google vs. Bing. I was also asked about my experiences handling different positions of responsibility.
Tips: Be ready to convince the interviewer that data analytics is for you. Questions like why Mu sigma and what if you don't get selected are common. Just be calm and make sure your resume is well prepared because they will ask about everything mentioned in your resume.
Skills: Analytical Ability, Data Interpretation, Inter Personal Skills, Coding ability, Team Work, General Aptitude, Time management
