Interview Preparation Tips
Experience: Students were shortlisted based on resume. Around twenty students were selected.
Round: Other Interview
Experience: Selected students for the first round of interview in which they asked puzzles/probability questions and tough HR questions.
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.

- Q1. Probability and Logical puzzles
Interview Preparation Tips
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.
