It was a tough 3 round of interview, where we had an aptitude round first and then some other rounds. Plenty of interview questions were easy and not that difficult, but the technical round was a bit tough overall.

I got the interview through the campus career fair. First, there was a telephonic screening, which was a conference call with three interviewers. After that, I interviewed on one of the super days. There were five rounds in total, and the interviewers were from different teams, ranging from an analyst who joined a year ago up to a director. Two of the rounds were very technical and asked me a lot about quant finance, which is my major. In one round, a senior manager asked me logical puzzles, and the other two rounds were fully behavioral.
