Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: I used the same resume for all companies and I only changed my areas of interest depending on the profile on offer.
Round: Test
Experience: I studied some CAT study books for preparation of the written test.
The first round was the written test. It consisted of 3 parts: maths, logical reasoning and English. The paper was on easier side compared to CAT. Nearly 200 people appeared for the written test and 40 candidates qualified for the next round.
Tips: Majority of the questions were on basic maths hence I would suggest that one should practice sums from 10th class maths book.
Round: Group Discussion
Experience: I used some books to study for the case studies like ‘Das Consulting Case Book’ and ‘HBS Case Guide’, the later is also available on the internet.
Round: Case Study Interview
Experience: The second round was a group case study. The case study was about a research firm and we were asked to suggest whether under given conditions a particular product should be continued to be sold. There were certain restrictions and constraints given to us. We presented our points in an organized manner. We ensured that each and every member gets 5 minutes to speak; each one of us spoke on the topic. After this round 12 to 13 people were called for interview round.
Round: HR Interview
Experience: The duration interview of the interview was about 15 to 20 minutes. There were no technical questions asked. They also asked me an analytical question, while asking me the questions one of the interviewers held up a pencil and said that if the pencil was divided in 3 parts then what the probability that a triangle will be formed. Finally the company recruited 10 candidates for the ARES profile.

5 Interview Rounds
Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: I referred some of seniors resume’s for preparing my own resume. Then I prepared a rough draft and mailed it to some of my seniors who did a thorough review of my resume. I received some valuable insights from them and finally I prepared the final draft. While applying in different companies I only altered my “areas of interests”, for instance while applying in core companies I mentioned my areas of interest as the core subjects.
Round: Test
Experience: The first round was the written test. The test was divided into 4 sections. 3 out of these 4 were logical reasoning, quantitative ability and verbal ability. Since I had prepared for CAT, I found the questions slightly simpler as compared to it. The verbal ability section was very easy; the level of this section was just slightly above that of the class 12th English CBSE board exam. The logical reasoning section was again very easy though some of the questions were actually challenging. Around 400 students appeared for the written test. For the next round, the company shortlisted around 55 people for my profile and another 48 for the other profile.
Round: Group Discussion
Experience: The next round was group case study round. The case given to us was about an ABC automobile company who had problems in their distribution network and production line. Their distribution network was clogged up and due to problems in their production line they were not able to come up to the desired output level. The company was also manufacturing products which were quite obsolete and not in great demand among the general public. We were asked to suggest the changes that can be implemented in the production line and the distribution system. We divided the case study into 4 sections. I and my classmate from the mechanical engineering department took up the industrial engineering aspect of the problem and found the solutions for the problem in the distribution network. The others were responsible for suggesting changes that can be brought about in the goods, the goods that can be manufactured and the goods that can be eliminated. We were asked to pen down our business plan on a sheet of paper. After this round around 40 people qualified for the next round.
Round: HR Interview
Experience: The final round was the personal interview round. Like every other interview this interview also began with the interviewer asking me to tell something about myself. This is where I took charge and I knew that my reply to this question would determine the flow of the interview. I told them little about my personality and gave them a brief account of all the campus activities that I was involved in. I also told them about how I organized Thomso (Cultural fest of IIT Roorkee) and the success that the event enjoyed because of my managerial skills. They then posed a question that if I was so very interested in organizing events why did I not opt for an event manager profile in some other company rather than doing a job in a consultancy company. I replied that this experience of organizing various events has taught me how to interact with people, how to convince them and how to get the best out of every individual I work with, I also told them that these are the qualities that generally attributed to a consultant.
They also asked me another HR question ‘What all tools are required to be successful in consulting sector?’ I replied by stating all the general stuff like enthusiasm and the likes but failed to mention that area/subject matter expertise was also important. This was the final round and finally the company recruited 20 candidates.
College Name: IIT ROORKEE
Motivation: Most of the information regarding the company was obtained by attending the Pre Placement Talk. The company has been visiting the campus for many years and has a good reputation amongst the students. It will be good if one knows what he actually has to do in the profile offered as it would be an added advantage during the personal interview round.

Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: I believe that the resume is the very crucial since it is the single most important basis for getting shortlisted. It also helps the interviewer know you and form an initial opinion about your strengths. Hence it becomes very important to have a strong, well drafted resume, regardless of the company you are applying to. You should mention all your strong points on your resume. Whether it is academics or some project that you might have undertaken or some other extra-curricular activity, all of them should appear on your resume.
When I prepared my resume, apart from the academic details and projects which form a standard part of the resume, I did make it a point to specify all the noteworthy extra-curricular activities I had under taken. I did provide a very brief description for each of the activities.
When you are applying for different companies with different profiles on offer, apart from a few minor changes, the resume remains more or less the same. I did my internship at BHEL. So whenever I used to apply to a core Electrical Engineering Company, I did mention it in my resume. However for other non technical firms, I didn’t mention it. From my personal experience following key points should be kept in mind while preparing the resume
For a core company (electrical engineering companies in my case) make sure that in your resume you focus on your academic details, projects and internships related to the field of that company (as far as possible).
For other firms such as consultancy firms, focus on your extra-curricular activities.
If it is an IT firm you are applying to, then you should focus on your software skills.
Your resume, should be in line with the post that you are applying for and the work that you would be supposed to do after joining.
Round: Test
Experience: The first round was a written test in which all the eligible candidates (as per the eligibility mentioned above) were allowed to appear. The test was held a couple of months prior to the placement season and was very similar to CAT with quantitative, logic based and verbal ability based questions. In fact, it was a bit easier than CAT, so the students who had prepared for CAT found it very easy. The cut off was high I guess. About 100 students appeared for the test, and 31 were shortlisted for the second round of the selection process for ERS profile.
Different companies have different types of written tests. Since I always wanted to go for a consultancy firm, I prepared mainly for the general quantitative aptitude test such companies generally follow. Prior preparation for CAT (entrance test for IIMs) definitely helped a lot in preparation for these tests.
Apart from this, I also revised the basic concepts of electrical engineering from standard textbooks for tests of core Electrical Engineering companies. Some of my friends also helped me in revising basic concepts of C++ for tests of IT companies.
Tips: This is the single most important part of the selection process where many students falter because of lack of preparation. Thus they do not even get a chance of getting interviewed. Practising questions from MBA entrance exams do help in the aptitude tests since most of the aptitude tests have a pattern very similar to these entrance exams.
Round: Group Discussion
Experience: The next round was a group activity where the group was given a case. Everyone in the group was supposed to analyze the case and discuss this amongst themselves to reach to a final conclusion. In the case given to our group, a company had to launch one of its new technologies in three different zones. The details about the 3 zones i.e. market share, competition etc. were given in the case. The group had to discuss the three selling strategies mentioned – phased approach, big bang approach and hybrid approach – reach a final conclusion and then the group had to give a short presentation on the same.
I didn’t prepare for Group Activities in particular because according to me it is more of a spontaneous activity. The group is given a topic, which might be completely unexpected at times. You should be able to communicate well and present your point effectively in a group activity. If someone is good at it, then there is no need for any specific preparation for group activities.
Tips: It is important to have good communication skills. One should be able to make his or her point clearly and make sure that others in the group pay attention to the same. The presentation should be good.
Round: HR Interview
Experience: Thirteen students, who got shortlisted from the group activity, made it to the final interview round. It was a behavioural interview and was a pretty simple one. I prepared for the interviews individually, although I did get a lot of help from my friends. There are a few specific questions which are almost always asked in an interview like:
1) Tell us about yourself
2) About you strengths/weaknesses etc.
Although I didn’t frame the actual answers but I did have the points in my mind which I would speak about during the interview.
I also did a bit of research and homework before going for the interview about what the company does and what it expects from the selected hires.
Tips: For the interview, just be confident. A behavioural interview is easy if you have framed answers to some typical questions or have at least thought of some points for the same.
General Tips: As I already had in my mind that I wanted to go for Deloitte, I went through their website thoroughly and other sources of internet as well to gain as much knowledge about the company as I can. As I was already preparing for CAT, the written test didn’t require any other specific preparation. The group activity and the interview were quite general and from my point of view, do not require any specific preparation.
College Name: IIT ROORKEE
Motivation: Deloitte offered two job profiles in this year’s placement session – Technology Consulting and Enterprise Risk Services. I believe that knowing the company profile in detail is very necessary for success in an interview.
1) I talked to my seniors (who were working with Deloitte) to get more details about the job profile being offered.
2) I attended the Pre-Placement Talk given by the company when it visited our campus. Also I went through their website to find out more about Deloitte.
So, although I was still not quite sure about what would my work exactly involve, but I had a very good idea about the job profiles on offer before going for the selection process.

1) Questions related to my resume (some more details about the kind of questions)2) Questions related to my internship (more details like – did they just enquire about the work you did/how was the experience and what you got to learn or did they really test the knowledge you should have / claimed to have gained during the internship)3) Views on collaboration of between Deloitte USA and Deloitte IndiaThere was some discussion about my IPCC scores which I had mentioned in my resume.

College Name: IIT ROORKEE
Motivation: The official description of the job profile was mailed to all the students by the placement cell.I researched about the company on the internet – their work environment, culture, business, reputation etc. I also talked to my seniors who had got placed in Deloitte last year and have been working there since. They gave me tips for all rounds of Deloitte's placement process which proved to be of great help during the selection process.Before starting the recruitment process, Deloitte gave an introductory session to all the candidates. The aim is to keep all the students equally informed about the company.

4 Interview Rounds
Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: I prepared resume keeping in mind the areas of interest that would suit the company’s requirements. The companies that recruit students from all departments usually tend to prefer students having interests in general management/economics related subjects, I knew about this and while applying to non-core companies I specified my areas of interest as these subjects.
Round: Test
Experience: The first round was an online written test. The types of questions asked were very similar to the CAT exam. It had the sections related to aptitude, logical reasoning and English. They were simple as per CAT standards and preparation of CAT would help ace the test very easily.
Round: Case Study Interview
Experience: The next round was the case study. The case study was about a medical company undergoing huge losses. We were given the reason for the losses and had to come out with a solution to counter the losses and revive the company. The case study was held in two phases. In the first phase we only had to sit in the group and bring out the points, I qualified through this phase. In the other phase we had to present our points, I failed to qualify this round.
College Name: IIT ROORKEE
Motivation: I got to know about the company and the job profile from the company's pre-placement talk.

Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: I had a standard resume for this company as per our institute placement cell norms.
I usually changed my “Areas of Interest” as per the company profile. For Deloitte I laid emphasis on my extracurricular activities and feel it is especially beneficial if you highlight points where you have worked in a team, shown leadership or have done something new or out of the box.
An idea about what work the person has to do for the profile may also seem beneficial.
Round: Test
Experience: I had prepared for CAT (MBA entrance test for IIM’s) and it helped a lot in the written test. It basically helped in clearing tests for Deloitte (as well as ZS Associates). The tests for these companies were conducted by AMCAT (which is a organisation which helps students prepare for CAT). So preparation for CAT would certainly help in clearing the written test for these companies.
The first round was the written test of 60 minute duration. There were three sections in all; two of those were aptitude and the third was English. Some students faced difficulty because they got a lot of questions from Permutation and Combination. Having prepared for CAT exam earlier I found this written test comparatively easier and no special preparation was required.
Round: Group Discussion
Experience: The second round was a group case study. The candidates were divided into different groups. Each candidate of the group was supposed to play the role of an expert in a particular area. Then a business problem was given to the entire group and 3 minutes were allotted to discuss the problem. The group was supposed to finally come out with a feasible solution after studying the different aspects of the problem.
The case given to our group was about a medical centre that wanted to convert the patient data into soft copy from the existent hard copy storage including data like X-ray results and so on, and then send this data to the patient over the internet in form of electronic mail. We as an expert panel were expected to find the problems that might be encountered during this process and consequently come out with feasible solutions to tackle the same. A lot of possible issues were discussed – the major ones being that of the financial burden of the entire process, getting contacts of patients who had been treated in the past, the man power required for process and how to dispose off the present hard copies of the data.
There were 10 people overall in my group out of which 6 qualified for the next round.
Round: HR Interview
Experience: The next round was the personal interview round. They asked me whether I knew C++ and I replied yes. Since I had revised C++ thoroughly, I was confident. One of the questions they asked me was to write a program/algorithm that gives the Fibonacci series as the output. Some HR (Human Resource) questions were also asked like ‘Since you belong to the N.C.R. region would you be able to adjust to living in southern India.’ These questions were mainly aimed to check my interest in the company. The technical questions that I was asked were very simple. They did not have in depth knowledge about the domain of my project and I feel the main aim of asking questions about one’s projects is to check the dedication towards the task in hand.
General Tips: If you are interested in working in a sector not related to your core area of study, then this company is a very good choice. A good knowledge of C++ and fluency in speaking English is a must to get selected in Deloitte.
College Name: IIT ROORKEE
Motivation: Most of the information regarding the company was obtained by attending the Pre Placement Talk. The company has been visiting the campus for many years and has a good reputation amongst the students. It will be good if one knows what actually he has to do in the profile offered as it would be an added advantage during the personal interview round.
Experience: I had a standard resume for this company as per our institute placement cell norms.
I usually changed my “Areas of Interest” as per the company profile. For Deloitte I laid emphasis on my extracurricular activities and feel it is especially beneficial if you highlight points where you have worked in a team, shown leadership or have done something new or out of the box.
An idea about what work the person has to do for the profile may also seem beneficial.
Round: Test
Experience: I had prepared for CAT (MBA entrance test for IIM’s) and it helped a lot in the written test. It basically helped in clearing tests for Deloitte (as well as ZS Associates). The tests for these companies were conducted by AMCAT (which is a organisation which helps students prepare for CAT). So preparation for CAT would certainly help in clearing the written test for these companies.
The first round was the written test of 60 minute duration. There were three sections in all; two of those were aptitude and the third was English. Some students faced difficulty because they got a lot of questions from Permutation and Combination. Having prepared for CAT exam earlier I found this written test comparatively easier and no special preparation was required.
Round: Group Discussion
Experience: The second round was a group case study. The candidates were divided into different groups. Each candidate of the group was supposed to play the role of an expert in a particular area. Then a business problem was given to the entire group and 3 minutes were allotted to discuss the problem. The group was supposed to finally come out with a feasible solution after studying the different aspects of the problem.
The case given to our group was about a medical centre that wanted to convert the patient data into soft copy from the existent hard copy storage including data like X-ray results and so on, and then send this data to the patient over the internet in form of electronic mail. We as an expert panel were expected to find the problems that might be encountered during this process and consequently come out with feasible solutions to tackle the same. A lot of possible issues were discussed – the major ones being that of the financial burden of the entire process, getting contacts of patients who had been treated in the past, the man power required for process and how to dispose off the present hard copies of the data.

4 Interview Rounds
Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Test
Experience: Deloitte selection procedure involves a written test which is
same as CAT format (certainly not that tough). Though I had not joined any test series to prepare for it, but I must strongly recommend that you should actually join a test series (provided by Career Launcher or
TIME). This test series will actually help you to synchronize your mind to the format and moreover it would help to refresh the question solving skills which you used to exercise while preparing for JEE.
Round: Group Discussion
Experience: general topic is given (mostly it is as to how you would go for implementing a new type of technology in a company, and hence you all have to decide the stepwise procedure for the implementation), then whole of the group is called in presentation room where each one is told personally to speak about the same topic as that of GD. This constitutes
second round. Finally, if you clear it, you get to face the interviews.
Tips: From now onwards, start reading newspaper daily. Just give at least one hour reading the editorials from newspaper and make it your habit. Not only for GD's, but for life in general, its very important that you should have a certain view about things happening around you and in the world and newspapers are the best thing which help you form your views and also know about the expert opinions on day to day topics. So, make sure that you read newspaper daily.
Round: Other Interview
Experience: For interview, main thing is that you should be well conversed about everything you have mentioned on your resume. So, before you go for any interview, just make sure that you can speak about for 5 minutes on
every single thing in resume. Deloitte is a company which is open for all the btech students and hence its mainly looking for the students who have a right attitude and are good at their interests.
Tips: have a perfect set of communication skills. I had not done
any special type of preparations for the interview or group discussions but all these skills actually developed during these years. I would advise that in order to gain more confidence at speaking, you should start taking challenges from now on and should actively participate in any sort of debates and GD.
