Interview
1. there was initially and online test on english and maths
2. Subsequentkly based on the above score and CVs students were shortlisted.

First round was technical testing basic understanding of financial markets, correlations among asset classes (not too technical, mostly reasoning based). Second round was more of macroenomics and global policies and HR.
