Hello everyone, Deloitte visited our campus (Vellore Institute of Technology, Vellore) with four different job profiles. One role was specifically for postgraduate students, while the remaining three were for B.Tech students graduating in 2021.
The
B.Tech profiles offered were:
• Analyst – Deloitte Consulting
• Analytics Specialist Assistant – Deloitte Audit Analytics
• Technology Analyst – Risk & Financial Advisory
The
entire selection process had three rounds.
The online
test was conducted through AMCAT. For the Analyst role, there were three
sections: numerical aptitude, logical reasoning, and English. The
test for the Technology Analyst position had seven sections, including numerical
aptitude, logical reasoning, English, Java (MCQs based on OOPs), SQL, HTML,
and computer programming.
It was a completely MCQ-based test. The duration was around 120 minutes
for the Technology Analyst profile and 75 minutes for the Analyst
profile.
Around 2700
students wrote the first round. Out of them, nearly 160 were
shortlisted for the Analyst role, 93 for Analytics Specialist Assistant,
and around 85 for the Technology Analyst position. I had applied for the
Technology Analyst role and got selected for the next round. The key point here
was simple: manage time well and try to get at least 80% of the answers
right.
For Face-to-Face
Interview 1, the students shortlisted for the Analyst role had a JAM
round. They were given a random topic and had to speak for a minute. Out of
160 students, 87 were selected.
For the
Technology Analyst profile, we were divided into panels, and two interviewers
handled each panel. When my turn came, the interviewer went through my resume
and became interested in one of my projects. This is why it’s important to know
every single detail mentioned in your resume.
She then
gave me a coding question and asked me to write a solution. The question was
about generating prime numbers using the sieve method with the best
possible time complexity. She seemed satisfied with my explanation. After that,
she moved to OOPs and asked about abstraction, string library details, why
strings are immutable in Java, and the concepts of overloading and
overriding. Toward the end, she also asked a few questions from OS
and DBMS.
This round went smoothly, and out of 83 students, 33 were selected for
the next round. In the audit role panel, 29 students were selected from
91.
For Face-to-Face
Interview 2, shortlisted Analyst candidates faced a managerial-style
interview focused mostly on resume-related discussions.
In the Technology Analyst profile, many students were asked about their resume,
projects, and even case studies based on their work.
My
interview was the last for the day and started around 9:30 pm. It lasted almost
an hour. The interviewer asked about my projects, my strong academic
performance, and why I wasn’t planning for higher studies. He also discussed my
experience shifting from Haryana to Chennai and asked a couple of case studies
related to cybersecurity and my sentimental analysis project.
He also asked questions like “Why Deloitte?” and “With so many
companies visiting, why choose us?”
It was a combined manager + HR + technical-style interview. The conversation
went reasonably well, and soon after, we were asked to join another Zoom link
where they informed us that we had been selected for the Technology Analyst
role.
In total,
Deloitte selected 47 students for the Analyst role, 18 students
for the Audit role, and 24 students for the Technology Analyst role. I
was thankful to be one among the 24.
The
interviews were smooth and not intimidating. If you have strong understanding
of your projects, OOPs, DBMS, OS, and maintain good communication
skills, you already have a strong chance—almost 70% of the job is secured
with these basics.
