Behavioral Technical
The interview process was good. It consisted of rounds 1 and 2, followed by a superday. The interviews were a mix of behavioral and technical questions, with the technical part focusing on valuation and primarily the 400 guide. I received a response a week after rounds 1 and 2, and then on the day of my superday, I was informed I received the offer.

The first interview was arranged by the campus recruiter. Following that, there was a 'Superday' which consisted of 5 interviews, each lasting 30 minutes. The outcome was communicated within 2-3 weeks. This is a typical interview process for investment banking roles and is similar to what you would find at other banks. The interviews covered both technical and behavioral topics.
