I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at CRISIL (Pune) in Sep 2024
Interview
My CRISIL interview process was quite structured and insightful. It started with an initial screening, followed by a technical assessment that tested my understanding of financial concepts. The final interview focused on my analytical skills, industry knowledge, and problem-solving approach. I was asked about equity research, financial modeling, and valuation techniques, along with some questions on credit ratings and macroeconomic trends. The interviewers also evaluated how I structure my responses and communicate my thoughts. Overall, it was a great learning experience, and I got a chance to showcase my skills in a practical setting.
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.
