First was invited to a student dinner. Then I sent in my CV and cover letter. All case based interviews.

Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They gave me two case studies. One was a basic profitability case and the other was a market entry case.
The set up was two case interviews, no behavioral component. They did not ask any personal questions and the cases were back to back. Mine was virtual and over zoom.
There are 2 Rounds of interviews:
1 Round: 2* 40-minute case interview with an associate consultant
2 Round: 3 case interviews with one focusing more on fit/behavioral interview with partners or managing directors
