I applied through university. I interviewed at Barclays (Pune) in July 2017
Interview
On the first day, they conducted an online test and a coding round. The test had 3 sections including analytical, verbal and quantitative (20 ques. each). 60 mins were given for the test. Overall the questions were easy but time management was the key part of the test.
Later they took a coding round where 2 problems were needed to be solved in 30 min. Questions were really simple and easy to code.
On the next day, they shortlisted around 60 students for interviews. Next round was technical interview. The interviewer started with my projects and various achievements that were mentioned on my resume. Later he started asking me questions related to MySQL queries, data structures basics ( BST Traversal, Linked List, Queues) and a little bit of information security. I managed to answer all the questions correctly and was shortlisted for the next and final round.
Around 35 students were shortlisted for the final "Value Round". This was the first time I appeared for an interview of this kind. They evaluate you on the basis of how you'll fit in the values of the company i.e. RISES. They gave me some situations and asked me what will I do if I was there. Also few personal questions were asked.
Later they selected 11 students for final placements and fortunately I was one of them. :)
