It was a lengthy interview process comprising of 3 rounds viz. Aptitude Test, Value Test and Final round of interview.
The Aptitude test consisted of 100 questions to be completed in a period of 2 hours. There were 5 sections as followed. Simple Quantitative ability problems, easy grammar and vocabulary, tough logical reasoning questions, basic banking finance scenarios, and very tricky Statistics questions. There were no codes involved in this round.
The value test was the most interesting round aiming to identify your attitude towards a given scenario. What would be the best option to act on and the worst choice to avoid.
The final interview primarily focused on digging deeper into what my resume provided them with. I was asked questions on Economics. Related to Data Science, they wanted to get a clear idea of the various modeling techniques I had performed in the projects at Ivy.
