Round: HR Interview
Experience: Four students were selected for the final round of interview out of which three landed the job. Final round was a very general HR round.

General Tips: No preparation is required but you could solve some common puzzles. It was very relaxed and the interviewers were very supportive. The main challenge was giving convincing answers to the HR questions.It's the best management job on campus!! Give your best! I'll be glad to help if any of you have queries.
Skill Tips: Make a very professional resume. Also for the interview, they do not expect you to know any finance so please do not claim to know finance and fumble when they question you (some guys were not selected because of this). I was upfront and told them that I lack any sort of knowledge in finance so I was asked only a few puzzles and some challenging HR questions.
