I applied in-person. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at HSBC (Hyderābād) in Aug 2016
Interview
The first section tested basic aptitude mainly logic and interpretation. It tests your timing and approach to solve a question.
The second consisted of Data Interpretation mainly pie charts and tables having data around bank deposits and dues. This section has enough time but can sometimes turn out tricky.
Now comes Economics. I had no idea prior to the test that this would be asked. So literally knew nothing beforehand. But questions can be answered if given a little thought into it. Most of them are from our personal experiences of banking excluding a select few which needs in depth knowledge of finance

An outsourcing position. Don't really think this position is relevante to my experience but headhunter suggested that the hiring manager had viewed my CV and suggested an interview. Overall, it was a position to help the technical team understand the need from the business side.
