So, there were 2 rounds for this internship. First, an online assignment that had debugging, aptitude, and DSA sections. Then, an HR interview round as part of the OA. The debugging part was pretty easy, solvable within the 20 min time limit. The aptitude section had 26 questions and was quite time-consuming, with a 40 min limit. Finally, the DSA section had 3 medium-level questions to be solved in 60 min.

Behavioral Case Technical
Interviewed with 2 people from the MSIM team. No behaviorals, they started by asking about my past experience, which companies I'm following, and then presented a hypothetical scenario, like a case study, asking what I would do as an investor. One interviewer seemed uninterested, but the other was nice.
Confirmed questions3 questions
- Which companies do you currently follow?
- Can you discuss your previous experiences?
- In a given scenario, how would you act as an investor?
