There were 3 rounds in total. The first round involved aptitude and SAS objective questions which were pretty basic, just needing some fundamental SAS knowledge. This included questions on Scan, Date, compress, and proc sql for the written part, and data interpretation, logical reasoning, and number systems for aptitude. After that, two technical rounds were held for those who passed the first round, focusing on resume, projects, and general technical knowledge. A case study on advertising and market strategy was also part of the process. The interviewers were quite helpful, offering hints and guiding us to think about and discuss the impact of each point. The whole thing happened in one day, though they were quite slow with the process.

The process was smooth. First, there was an aptitude test, and around 80 students got shortlisted. After that, an extempore round was conducted, followed by two interview rounds. The interviewers were very knowledgeable, showing expertise in economics and market frameworks like Porter's analysis. These two interviews together lasted about 1 hour and 45 minutes.

They started off by asking some finance and accounting questions, and also threw in some case studies and guess estimates. Then there was a group discussion (GD) round where we had to speak on a topic given on the spot. After the GD, it was back to guess estimates and case studies, and they also checked our finance knowledge again. Lastly, we had an HR round.
