Selection Process:
CGPA Cut-off: none
Test: none
GD: none
Number of Interview rounds: 3
Types of Rounds:
Two preliminary rounds were held even before the actual interview. They are called buddy rounds. These are
two or three case studies that try to judge the way you dissect the problem. One round held on the day of
the interview is a case study based and one is a guesstimate. They look for a mutually exclusive and
collectively exhaustive approach (MECE). For a problem in hand, one needs to see all the possible reasons
and suggest the required modifications. Some HR and resume questions were also asked.
Preparation Material Used for Interview:

Case in point, day 1.0, IIM A, ISB case books, Victor Cheng, Day 1.0, CIC

Suggestions for the Interview:
Keep your calm and put yourself in the shoes of the problem. For consult especially, keep a few numbers
such as population (rough estimate) of India, rural, urban split and all such things. Don't worry if you get the
numbers wrong anywhere, it's the approach that is most important. Have a strong case solving approach.

Exit Options:
Since we work with various industries in both public and private sectors, you get a diverse experience. This
will help you jump into a variety of related industries. People usually go for an MBA, start-up, PE, VC etc.

Bain & Company
Associate Consultant
JD:
Bain & Company is a global business consulting firm with offices in all major cities. We help management make
the big decisions: on strategy, operations, mergers & acquisitions, technology and organization. Bain was
founded in 1973 on the principle that consultants must measure their success in terms of their clients' financial
results. Companies that outperform the market like to work with us; we are as passionate about their results as
they are.
Bain associate consultants (ACs) are the heart and soul of our organization. At Bain, you will be our frontline in
developing powerful insights as well as driving results for our clients. We invest heavily in our ACs. That
investment pays off, not only for Bain. A large number of our ACs become business leaders inside of our firm
and across industries. ACs are generalists who work with case teams and are exposed to a wide variety of
industries and capabilities. On each case, ACs find the right information, create and interpret analyses, and
present their findings to case teams and clients. Their work becomes the basis of the team's strategic
recommendations. As ACs become stronger contributors to their teams, they gain more client contact and
broader strategic development responsibilities. More than just "analysts" who analyse and report data, ACs are
core to how Bain generates results for clients.
Responsibility and learning

As a Bain AC, you get the chance to make an impact right away. You're the one who finds the critical
information, develops high-quality analysis and assesses the most pressing issues our clients face. You also
share your insights and recommendations with your team and the client. In short, we expect and need you to
make a difference. Throughout your time as an AC, you'll learn, be stretched, and grow at an incredible pace.
In addition to hands-on experience during client engagements, regular, worldwide, formal training programs will
teach you the broad skill set you need to succeed as a business leader. But perhaps the most profound
learning experiences come simply from interacting with your colleagues. Bain people represent the best and
the brightest of the consulting industry. Working closely alongside your team and benefiting from informal
mentoring, you'll quickly fill any gaps in your industry knowledge. You, in turn, will be surprised at how fast you
start mentoring others.
Global Training Programs

Training is an integral part of your learning at Bain. As an AC, you will be a part of the Associate Consultant
Training (ACT) program which is organized at Virginia/Boston, USA every year. ACT is perhaps the best
experience for a new recruit – great learning, a window to share experiences and meet fellow ACs from around
the world.
Place of Posting: Gurgaon /Mumbai / Bangalore.
Selection Process:
CGPA Cut-off: none
Test: none
GD: none
Number of Interview rounds: 2 or 3

Types of Rounds:
All of them were case interviews where either a case or a guesstimate will be asked to solve. They also
asked one or two HR questions at the beginning or end of the interview.

1. Victor Cheng videos on YouTube and book for extra reading
2. Day 1.0 book by iitm students
3. case interviews cracked by iitb students
4. Case interview cracked videos on YouTube
5. Solved cases with seniors/peers/ buddies of the respective companies
6. Case interview secrets
7. case interviews cracked,
8.LOMS Audio files

Suggestions for Interview:
Be coherent and extremely logical, effective communication, breaking down a large problem into small sets

Exit Options:
Since consult gives a hands-on experience in different sectors people choose to shift to one of these that
they have liked working in. A lot of them have moved to VC companies. MBA is another option in tier 1
institutes. Though consult does not guarantee admission it does increase your chances due to the
experiences gained. Sometimes even clients extend offers to consultants. Opportunities in Private Equity
and Startups also exist.

Dalberg Global Development Advisors
Analyst
JD:
Analysts are our front lines of research, analysis, and presentation - building the team’s knowledge base
around the topic at hand. As those who dive deepest into the issues, Analysts think critically and creatively to
develop insights based on their findings from the research process. They gain a broad knowledge base that
cuts across sectors and geographies while serving as the core of every project’s work.
The Dalberg Asia Analyst Program covers the first 2 years of a strategy consulting career. We attract
thoughtful, diligent, and passionate problem solvers to take on complex challenges in a variety of sectors.
Including energy, urban development, education, global health, and more.
The program is our commitment to helping you grow professionally, engage deeply with communities, and gain
an international perspective for your career.
Selection Process:
CGPA Cut-off: none
Test:
No aptitude test, per se. There was a 10 minute Skype interview/test for all candidates from the initial
resume-based shortlist (~35 people)

Sections of the Test:
There was math and general HR for consulting

Preparation for the Test:
Mostly went with the flow, but I did think about my answers to the typical consulting HR questions - Why
Consulting? Why Dalberg? What are your strengths and weaknesses? and other such questions.

Suggestions for Test:
Just be calm and confident. That's important as it's a test you'll be taking via Skype. (I know that sounds
weird, but that's exactly what happens - there's a Google form on the screen and someone guides you on
Skype to solve problems/tell them your answers)

Number of People Selected from the Test:
Only 8 out of the initial shortlist made it post the test to the final interviews. There was no GD. However,
during placements, there were a few people who were put on a wait list who also got to interview with the
firm.

GD: none

Number of Interview Rounds: 4

Types of Interview Rounds:
All my interviews had a combination of a case and some HR. But the interview mostly revolved around the
case. The HR parts were seamlessly integrated into the interview/case

Typical case prep books. I particularly liked Day 1.0, Case Interviews Cracked (CIC), Victor Cheng (book +
LOMS) and the latest IIMA casebook. I also used some case books from the business schools abroad -
Harvard, Yale and LBS - but that was mostly because some of my case buddies used them and I quite liked
the theory in those books. But I think the case books from the universities abroad aren't really necessary
while prepping for placements in insti.

It's very important to be aware of the differences between a typical consulting interview case and a Dalberg
case. Dalberg cases always have sensitives in-built because Dalberg primarily works in the development
sector. So the cases will also reflect the same. I recommend reading up about the various practice areas of
Dalberg from the website to get a good understanding of the type of cases they work with so that you're not
thrown by the context of the case during your interview. Also, it's important to be calm and confident during
the interview. Finally, it's important to be coachable during the interview. Not only does the interviewer want
to see how well you're able to structure and think to solve cases, but also whether you're going to be a great
fit for their case team. Picking up on hints given by the interviewer and using it effectively in your case
solving shows the interviewer that you'd be a good fit for the team.

Exit Options:
Business School, lateral shifts to other companies that work in the development space, externships leading
to full time shifts to organisations such as NITI Aayog.

McKinsey & Company
Business Analyst
JD:
Business Analysts join our offices around the world to work in teams and directly with our clients. When you join
McKinsey as a Business Analyst (BA), you are joining a firm that will challenge you and invest in your
professional development. In this role you will work on the best teams to help the best organizations in the
world – in private, public, and social sectors – solve their most difficult problems. You will also work with many
experts, from data scientists and researchersto software and app designers.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
You’ll work in teams of typically 3 – 5 consultants, playing an active role in all aspects of the client engagement.
This includes gathering and analyzing information, formulating and testing hypotheses, and developing and
communicating recommendations. You’ll also have the opportunity to present results to client management and
implement recommendations in collaboration with client team members. You’ll gain new skills and build on the
strengths you bring to the firm. Business Analysts receive exceptional training as well as frequent coaching and
mentoring from colleagues on their teams. This support includes a Partner from your local office or practice
assigned to you to help guide your career as well as several weeks of formal training in your first two years as a
Business Analyst. Additionally, you’ll receive guidance and support from your local office in the selection of
client projects, helping you to develop your skills and build your network. We view the Business Analyst position
as the start of a rewarding, challenging, and highly flexible career with McKinsey. During your first few years
with the firm, you will serve as a BA on multiple client engagements and work with a number of colleagues and
clients in a range of industry and functional areas. We encourage you to explore different content areas or
geographies through a year-long rotation with one of our practices (e.g., corporate finance, social sector,
healthcare, operations) or global offices; many do this after two years as a generalist BA. For all BA's, you will
likely intersect with many elements of our firm's work including Digital McKinsey, Implementation, and New
Ventures - either by collaborating on teams or working with colleagues from these groups.

Be good at quant and logic.
Have sufficient practice in aptitude tests. (Not for knowledge, but for speed). Expect them to ask "innovative
patterns". Be thorough with basic probability and statistics.
Interview:
Number of Rounds: 4
Round 1&2: Technical

They asked quant questions on probability and statistics. They also asked a few resume-based questions. It
would help if you are well-versed with the topics. However, even if you are not able to solve the problem, if you
discuss the approach with decent confidence, it should be good.
Round 3: Technical + HR
They ask a few quant questions, including a conditional probability question which was repeated from previous
rounds. They also ask questions about how you would resolve different situations in the office.
Round 4: HR
This will be more about whether you wanted to join the company, why you should join, the benefits of the work,
etc. They also ask 1-2 machine learning questions.
Preparation
 Basic probability and statistics from InterviewBit and Wikipedia
 Resume revision.
General Suggestions:
Prepare probability and statistics well. Be thorough with the basics. (Also prepare conditional probability. One
question was repeated across rounds, even across profiles, in ANZ.) Brush up basics of data science/machine
learning.
Even if you are not that thorough, it's okay. Appear confident. Show your problem solving skills, and discuss
the approach. Being well-dressed might help, though I am not sure.
Be thorough with your resume. It might help. Also brush up your vocabulary for "standard" HR questions.

How to Ace the Brain Teaser Interview by John Kador
An Introduction to Statistical learning with applications in R (for ML part), geeksforgeeks 50 puzzles and Heard
on the street for puzzles.
Had many mock interviews with my wingmates. It helped a lot.

Throughout both the rounds the interviewers were constantly observing my approach to solve any puzzles or
questions asked by them. Hence my suggestion would be do not do any mind calculations. Whatever you are
thinking let the interviewers know that.
If you don't know something, just say that you don't know and give them the confidence that you are interested
and will be able to learn.

In the second round, the focus was more on the resume. Be prepared to answer in depth question on things
mentioned in the resume. A couple of moderate to difficult level puzzles, quantitative questions and business
acumen questions were also asked in this round.
Third round was HR. This was fairly straight forward and you would find it easy if you have prepared the
standard set of questions well enough.
Rather than looking at your knowledge on data analytics, the panel focused on testing the quantitative aptitude,
approach to a given problem and ability to learn quickly."

Geeks for geeks, YouTube, hackerrank, heard on the street for puzzles, Basic probability
, pariksha and 64 HR questions. Apart from that focus on the things mentioned in your resume.

Be confident and be prepared for challenging quant questions (puzzles)
The main point to be taken into account is they aren't exactly looking for someone who is really good at R or
python for an analyst role. They want people with good problem solving abilities. Despite R and python being a
prerequisite, problem solving, puzzles, small case study and guesstimate are given more importance.

First round: technical round with a run through technical content/ projects from the resume. Don't be surprised if
these companies ask you basic questions from your major field of Engineering. They do this to check if you are
good in what you have doing for the last 4/5 years. Technical questions in ML included writing loss functions,
explaining regularization and in general basics of major ML techniques.
Second round: HR round

Interview was stressed on resume. Be thorough with resume especially projects and internships.
Prepare answers for important questions from 64 hr questions book.
HS course material for Statistics and Econometrics, Case Interviews Cracked
Go through geeksforgeeks and review all the puzzles too.

Learn about what the company does to answer questions like why Citibank and what do you know about
Citibank and banking sector.
Treat the interview as a conversation and keep the interviewers involved. It is not a monologue where you keep
talking for 2 minutes or more. It is always suggested to stay calm but unfortunately it is easier said than done.
At the least, don't show the nervousness and panic in the interview.
Take your time to think and answer
Be confident. I cannot stress this enough! Citi loves confident people. But make sure you build a story to back
your confidence in all the skills you talk about in the interview. Making statements that you cannot back up is
not advisable. They poke around your resume and question you enough to know whether you are bluffing.

First round was a Junior executive and second round was senior executive from the company. No separate HR
both rounds but both had a couple of simple HR questions. They wanted to know about general problem
solving skills, especially your approach. The questions were very simple case studies and guesstimates. Since
I had data science experience there were data-science based case questions. They also asked very simple
puzzles.

Just watched some YouTube videos on how to approach guesstimate and simple case-based problems.
Reviewed the puzzles in GeeksforGeeks website.

Just be confident and clearly explain your approach even if you don't have a clear solution. Prepare for
questions like "Why EXL?" , "Why analytics? Why not your core?". Browse through their website and find some
projects/whitepapers which you can relate to your profile to construct the answer. Be confident about anything
you include in your resume.

marketing and supply chain teams focused on specific functions or initiatives. They work closely with various
business functions to enable data driven problem solving and decision making.
In a large ecommerce company such as Myntra where direct interaction with customers and associates is
limited, data is often the only source of truth and therefore plays a key role in performance measurement and
decision making. Data analysts work on three broad types of problems to enable this -
Descriptive - problems involving performance measurement, setting up meaningful metrics, granularity,

visualization and benchmarking for various business functions
Investigative - design of experiments, determining success of experiments or initiatives; hypothesis testing,
deep dive analysis around specific events or observable trend changes
Predictive or Prescriptive - deeper level of problem solving using statistical, machine learning or operations
research techniques to generate estimates, forecasts or recommendations for better planning or goal
achievement within business functions
Data analysts should have a flair for structured problem solving and are typically skilled on SQL, Python, R and
other applications that handle big data. They should also possess good applied knowledge of commonly used
statistical concepts, machine learning and operations research techniques.

About us
Founded in 2014 and listed among the world’s top emerging businesses, RIVIGO is writing the future of
logistics with a global-first driver relay model enabled by a unique mix of next generation technology and
operational excellence.
Through the relay model, we have fundamentally changed the truck driver’s job from a ‘months-away-from-
home’ job to a ‘day’ job. Unlike conventional truck drivers, relay pilots drive from pitstop to pitstop (under 300
kms) and return to their families the same day, thus initiating a huge cycle of social change.
Our customers leverage 50-70% reduction in transit time and 100% precision and reliability to reinvent their
business models – by serving new markets, reducing inventory and significantly cutting costs. With ground-
breaking technology solutions and advanced data analytics, we are a unique logistics network that aspires to
be India’s largest new age logistics platform. We are contributing to building the new India by defining the next-
generation trucking industry with accurate predictions, elevated levels of efficiency, simple automated
operations, and by making logistics human.
What You’ll Do
• Evaluate business processes, analyze areas for improvement, and developing and implement solutions for
the same
• Lead ongoing reviews of business processes and develop optimization strategies
• Stay up-to-date on the latest process and tech advancements to automate and modernize systems.
• Drive improvement projects and ensure the adoption of processes on the ground
• Be data driven and gather key insights from the overall data
• Gathering critical information from meetings with various stakeholders and producing useful reports.
• Working closely with business leaders and cross functional teams to drive projects
• Ensure timelines are met and projects meet the desired execution at pace

• Manage competing resources and priorities
• Monitor deliverables and ensure timely completion of projects
What We Need
Education:
• BE / BTech from Tier 1 campus
• Knowledge of advance excel, SQL
• Knowledge of Python (preferred & not mandatory)
Selection process:
CGPA cut-off: None
Test: Yes
Sections in test:
Aptitude, Verbal Reasoning, Comprehension type questions and a Case Study where you had a situation in
hand and you could only ask 20 questions to get the solution to that situation.
Test preparation:
Used time study material for aptitude, verbal reasoning and comprehension. For the case study, use Day 1.0 or
Case In Point or any other Case book provided by the placement team.
Test Suggestions:
Speed and accuracy is important. You need to be sure of your calculations and be thorough with the concepts
involved for most of the questions as you will have very little time to sit and reason out the logic for each and
every question.
For the case study question, make sure you have a proper flow of questions in mind before you start
exhausting them and take notes instead of following the chain in your head for clarity and more insights.
GD: No

The first round was a technical round with a mixture of everything, with more emphasis on the case study. It will
be easy if you focus on the questions given by the allotted mentors from the firm. Keeping good contact with
the mentor helps in the interview process.
The second round was a HR type round with emphasis on getting to know the candidate and ask him situation-
based questions to understand his mindset."
"Round 1: It was a technical round which focused on my problem solving skills and my approach towards its
specific solution.

Once again, a lot of emphasis on Case studies. Also solve the puzzles from Herd on the Street and other
resources provided by the Placement team.
The preparation of the interview was mostly done through the interaction with the mentor from the firm.
Problem solving was done through guesstimates available online and the correct thought process of problem
can also be improved through few case solving examples.
The HR round was prepared through the questions available online, I prepared a google doc with 50-60 HR
questions and their personalized answers. This process helped me to gain control over the common questions
and to be fluent during the interview about myself. I prepared the lists of the achievements or stories which I
wanted to speak about during the interview. "

In the first round, I was asked to outline the methods to increase the profits of a hospital chain. It was a domain
I had little idea about, but I kept probing for more information till I had components which could help me frame a
story. The case went on for about half an hour, which was followed by a puzzle and resume questions.
A few pointers:
- Have a story for every point mentioned on your resume.
- Try to be as expressive as possible while thinking through a problem or case. The interviewer needs to
understand your thought process to judge you.
- It is okay to ask for a moment to think rather than blurt out something under the pressure of the clock.
- Have a very good reason for joining Rivigo. This is a must and if you don't have one, just make it up.
- Keep asking questions to get new data relevant to the case. Make sure the questions unlock new data and is
not repetitive.

You are going to be a Business Analyst without actually doing an MBA, so I would say you can go for pretty
much any job, from Consulting at McKinsey to a Data Scientist at Microsoft. The founders have good contacts
and the IITM Alumni Network will also surely help.

5,000 ZS professionals in 22 offices worldwide draw on deep industry and domain expertise to deliver impact
for clients across multiple industries.
ZS’ India Capability and Expertise Centers house more than 60% of ZS people across two locations based in
Pune and Gurgaon. Our teams work in conjunction with onshore colleagues to deliver our sales and marketing
projects to our clients. The Centers primarily support client projects based in North America, Europe and East
Asia in the areas of Business Analysis, Business Operations and Business Technology.
Business Consulting Group delivers solutions to a broad spectrum of marketing and sales challenges. We also
help our clients transform their marketing and sales organizations to implement these solutions. Our solutions
and recommendations are based in rigorous research and analysis underpinned by deep expertise and thought
leadership.
Job Description
ZS pioneers in sales force and marketing analytics – applying optimization techniques to sales force and
marketing investment problems. We have grown significantly and are now recognized global leaders in sales
and marketing consulting.
A key enabler of our services is leveraging data in delivering client solutions. The data available about
customers is getting richer and the problems that our customers are trying to answer continue to evolve. In our
endeavor to stay ahead in providing solutions to these evolving complex problems, ZS has set up an Advanced
Data Science which has three major focus areas:
• Research the evolving datasets and advanced analytical techniques to develop new offerings/solutions
• Deliver client impact by collaboratively implementing these solutions
• Provide thought leadership by developing the ZS Point of View in this space
The Data Science Associate will play a critical role in designing, developing and implementing analytical
techniques on large, complex, structured and unstructured data sets (including big data) to help client make
better decisions in sales and marketing space, with guidance from Data Science leadership.
Specific responsibilities Include:

• Developing advanced algorithms that solve problems of large dimensionality in a computationally efficient and
statistically effective manner

processes on a large amount of data to identify trends, figures and other relevant information

ZS in India ranks 13 in the Dream Companies to Work for list by Times Ascent and WHRD
ZS Recognized as a Top 10 Analytics Solution Provider
Selection process:
CGPA cut-off: None
Test: None. There was a 2 day competition through which people get shortlisted for the interviews.
Sections asked: Only one problem statement which was a Data Analytics Case and we had to use Machine
Learning techniques to arrive at the solution.
Preparation:
Through data science platforms like Kaggle and the ML course offered in insti
Participated in few analytics competitions.
Test Suggestions:
It was a pretty easy ML application unlike the hackathons conducted by companies. (Even ZS has a hackathon
through which they recruit people for the Data Science Associate profile. This takes place much earlier)
GD: No

All three rounds were technical. The first is called a case interview where we are supposed present the solution
given by us during the 2 day competition. The second round was a technical interview and the final round was
a telephone interview by one of the project managers. All the rounds were very technical and they looked for
depth to which we understand ML algorithms. They gave us small scenarios and asked us on how we would
approach the problem, how do we choose an appropriate ML model and why. I believe one can answer these
questions only if they have taken part in ML hackathons and have hands on experience in implementing these
algorithms. Knowledge through taking a course would help but hands on experience is recommended. I didn't
have any HR round or puzzle, everything was about Data science and ML.

Be confident, whatever you are saying. If you haven't worked on any algorithm just say it.

ZS being a consulting firm gives us good exposure to the industry. Most of ZS's clients are from the Pharma
industry. Since the company has a very data driven approach to solving problems and expects the consultants
to have deep technical knowledge, we can develop multiple skill sets along with being technically sound. I
believe we can move out to any industry for a senior Data Science role after some time in ZS.
Other options are MBA, other consulting firm or data analytics firm.
