PatialaPosted Sep 2019 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I interviewed through placement-style steps where early rounds mixed quick aptitude with trading-simulation ideas, and the later stages focused on stress reactions; difficulty varied from easy to average but always timed.

Online aptitude & maths test — a pre-interview screen combining aptitude/math.
Willingness-style interview round — an interview stage checked my readiness to join the company.
Share market bidding / trading simulator — a competitive exercise where I had to act like a trader among peers.
Aptitude buzzer quiz — a fast quiz format meant to test reflexes.
Follow-up interview — another interview round completed the loop. Outcome: I didn’t get an offer; the takeaway is that trading-game exercises and speed-based quizzes were used to pressure-test judgment.
