Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Case Study Interview
Experience: Case Details:
It’s a data and graphs based case covering all the fundamental concepts of marketing viz., market sizing, sales force sizing, etc.
Wherever there was ambiguity in the case, I asked questions and got clarity on what exactly is expected as the answer? I have worked out every step of the calculations for quantitative questions thus involving the interviewers through the problem-solving process. For one of the questions, I missed the foot notes given in the slide and asked a question that would have otherwise not arisen.
Tips: Be clear with the marketing fundamentals (courses 101 & 102) and be ready to do some calculations (simple though) and data interpretation The case and questions are relatively simple and quite solvable on the spot. So, just keep your cool and focus.

Round: Case Study Interview
Experience: Case Details:
I was given around 15 documents (~45 pages) related to an ice cream company and 40 mins to understand those documents and come up with a presentation on flip charts for two of the board of directors of the ice cream company. There were detailed questions from the two panelists during the presentation on the understanding and the recommendations. I have followed the 4c-4p framework approach for solving the case and thus could systematically take the panelists through the presentation. I could remember some important details in the documents and cited
the appropriate numbers while explaining my problem analysis and defending my recommendations. One of the panelists looked disinterested after listening to the presentation which gave an impression that my case understanding is wrong but I tried to stay focused and positive about my case analysis. I could not manage my time on the case preparation really well and came up with minimal details on the flip charts. I was mostly explaining the numbers while talking through the presentation. I could not answer some of the questions asked by the panelists.

Tips: Distribute your time wisely for case analysis and presentation, you have to be prepared to get on to the case really quickly. The amount of data in the given time frame is overwhelming. So, it is
important to stay cool and focused. The interviewing panel is very pa

Round: Case Study Interview
Experience: Was consistent in my answers for PI questions right from Round 1
Tips: In my opinion, there are no right/wrong answers in this round. This is basically a psychometric assessment to check the team fit. If you made it here, you are mostly in
