I applied through university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Bain & Company (Gurgaon, Haryana) in Oct 2017
Interview
Was interviewed by a two senior consultants and principal. They were both extremely encouraging and didn't put pressure on me to answer quickly. They did a round by round elimination, so you found out whether or not you got through to the next interview within 10 minutes. They asked only case studies/ guesstimates but the final interview was only a fit/behavioural interview to know more about you.
2 rounds, 1st round 2 small cases, not very difficult , market entry cases.
2nd long case with a deck to read and prepare answers..45 mins to read, 15 mins to answer
Three rounds of interviews, generally 2 rounds in person or remote with live consultants. Each round involves a 2-3 case interviews each, which generally also include a set of behavioural questions.
Drei Interviewrunden, je ein Interviewer: zwei englischsprachige Case Studies (Interviewer-geführt, strukturiert) sowie Personal Fit mit situativen Fragen ohne CV-Bezug - keine Angaben zu Praktika oder Uni gefragt. Stattdessen Reaktionsfragen à la „Wie würdest du in Situation XYZ reagieren?". Mit solider Vorbereitung nichts Unerwartetes. Alle Interviewer sehr freundlich und aufgeschlossen — angenehme, entspannte Atmosphäre throughout.
