I applied through college or university. I interviewed at EY (Mumbai) in Mar 2018
Interview
I applied through campus placement. I was shortlisted for the position and was given a date to come to the EY office for interview process. There were many students from different colleges. There were 3 rounds- GD, HR round and final interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
In the GD round, the topic of discussion was- Which is more better, working in big companies or working for startups?
Started with an online application, submitting a CV and filling out a short questionnaire, followed by an online test. After that I got invited to an in-person interview in two parts. One was a group work on a case study done with other candidates, followed by individual interviews with a member of the team.

The EY interview was professional, structured, and engaging. Interviewers were well-prepared, asked thoughtful questions, and clearly explained the role and firm culture. The conversation felt respectful and substantive, leaving a strong impression of EY’s people-focused, collaborative environment overall and welcoming.
