Interview Questionnaire 

1 Question

  • Q1. Probability and Logical puzzles

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: The company shortlisted based on resume and GPA. Around 20 were shortlisted.

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: After that they held a technical round wherein they asked mainly probability and logical puzzles. Theinterview was 10 to 15 mins long.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: The next round, for which five or so were shortlisted, was one in which they asked about your drive, your good and your bad, why finance, why this job, and other such questions. All the interviewers were present and this lasted for 15 minutes. Finally only 3 were given the offer.

General Tips: Look formal and energetic. Look them in the eye while answering, be courteous and practice thinking loudly. Think about what you would say when they ask you why you want to move to finance, and whythey should take you and not the others. It is not a tough one to crack. All you need is to be confident, polite and frank.
Skill Tips: Prepare your resume tailored to the company. Study up probability and tricky questions on it. They asked me a question on Russian roulette. Prepare for puzzles online.
