Interviewed Dec 2011 (took 2 days)
Initially, there was a very, very long skills test with a ~20 min Verbal Section, a ~65 min Quant, Data Interpretation & Logical Reasoning Section & a ~10 min Essay Writing Section. This was preceded by some formalities like filling of forms etc. Based on the basic profile entered on the form, GPA & test scores, about 60 people were invited for the first round of 1:1 interview the next day. The interview included basic HR questions, small cases, puzzles etc. It was a very friendly interaction and relaxed process. Each interview lasted between 20-35 min. Following that, a final shortlist of about 25 people were made for the final round of Group/ Panel Interview where all interviewers of different panels were present. It lasted for about 10 min per person. It was mostly verification round/ small HR questions. Finally 15 people were selected from our campus.
