Experience: details of the initial interview process?
• Group discussions
• Case study Analysis , presentations etc
• Assessment centre
• Management games etc
• Panel / one on one interview – First round was primarily a personal interview
with their CEO and the HR head. Interview centered around my resume, my
background and other personal questions.
• Telecon interviews – Final round was a telecom with most of the technical
team (about 5 of them) – which was primarily technical and about projects I
did.

Tips: On resume – brushing up on projects I have done; making sure past mistakes
are not repeated; and identifying primary focus areas where I can sell myself
better; in fact I modified the order of my projects in my resume a little bit to
put the equities project I have done at the very top.

for prior interviews

DSP’s market outlook report; and found out what types of funds they have.

Management (from a book in lib – don’t remember the author’s name);
reviewed O&F fundaas and IA fundaas..
