Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: I had really good points in my resume. I had done few courses related to data analysis, projects (my DD project was related to data analysis), PORs.
I prepared my resume points very thoroughly. I wrote about each point and then discussed with my friends and took their opinion about that.
Tips: Its better to review your review by atleast 5-8 people. so that you can make relevant changes. I think, it's good to highlight the end result of any project or intern.
Try to connect ur resume point to the skills required for the company.

Round: Interview
Experience: These two questions were asked in two different case interviews. My overall experience was good. In first one, I had good approach because I had done one project in which I followed the similar approach (how the whole institute can be categorized and how to calculate the number of ppl according different sections- students, profs, employees, workers etc)
As the second case, i felt was tough because how mess work in our college is different from any other private canteen. So for that you had to ask many questions.
Tips: In the case interviews, interviewer just check for approach but they expect you to reach at conclusion also. As you start solving the case, you can ask for extra information during solving it.

Round: Test
Experience: Most of the companies will have 60 questions in 60 mins. most of the companies (analytics profile)1/3 of portion will be verbal. My overall experience with tests was not good.
Tips: I felt, the time was less. It's good to prepare for CAT, so that you don't have to prepare separately for aptitude which i did mistake.
Duration: 60 minutes
Total Questions: 60

Round: Interview
Experience: These all questions were asked in third round of interview. I had very strong reason to choose business analyst profile and the company because my courses and projects showed my interest in this field.
Tips: I think, it's good to be honest and answer the HR questions. even I gave myself 9/10 points for analytical skills.
even if you haven't done any work related to this field but you show interest and have good analytical skills, then also any company will select you.
It's good to have overall idea of how any business works in the given sector which can help you in asking relevant question when they ask if you have any question for them. Good question which shows ur depth of understanding of industry, gives really good impression on interviewer.

Round: Group Discussion
Experience: This company didn't have group discussion. This was my first company and i got into it.
Tips: I practised many GDs with my friends and i attended soft skill workshop by tvs. The workshop was not helpful. The mock GDs and interviews which were organised by alumni associations were really helpful. They give feedback also.

One can google out the GD topics and practice with wing mates.

General Tips: Try to be optimistic during interview in any context.
Skills: Analytical skills, communication skills
