I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at CRISIL (Mumbai) in Mar 2021
Interview
It was around 15 20 mins interview. I had a prior experience in marketing side during my undergrad days so for 10 mins they kept on pushing about how good fit i am for marketing and business development side and they have opportunities in that domain if i wanted to join there. They were trying to convince me i am not a good fit for finance but for marketing. After that they asked me on finance side only a couple of questions. Asked me about my expected salary and if i have questions. I haven't heard from them yet probably will be in a week.
Typical MBA campus interview. Pre-placement talk was very informative. Three rounds, 2 x Technical and 1 HR. Structured Finance plus bond market related question. Each interview was 30 min. Announced the result on the same day.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Explain GFC, its preceding events. Causes and bond market association
3 technical round and 1 HR round. All about structured finance and introductory questions, quant, apti, VA, there was apti round also before this.
They asked basic bond questions as well as difficult questions about tranches.
The interview process involved HR round followed by technical interviews and behavioural questions. Overall, it was pretty straightforward since it involved discussions on previous experience as well as the role.
