I received a call from the HR on the very next day confirming that I could sit for the placement as I met all the academic criteria. The interview process comprised of a written test followed by a face-to-face interview with the senior manager &amp; one more panelist. The questions asked were pretty easy and spanned through common HR interview questions like &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.naukri.com\/campus\/career-guidance\/hr-interview-questions-tell-me-about-yourself\">Tell me about yourself<\/a>&#8220;, &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.naukri.com\/campus\/career-guidance\/where-do-you-see-yourself-in-5-years-interview-questions\">Where do you see yourself 3 years from now?<\/a>&#8221; and &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.naukri.com\/campus\/career-guidance\/how-to-answer-interview-question-what-do-you-know-about-our-company\">Why Mu Sigma?<\/a>&#8221; etc. I spoke about my internship experience only when I felt I should. I was also given some decently tough business cases and puzzles to solve. The entire face-to-face interview lasted for a good 1 hour. My interview took place at VIT, Pune and I faired well in the test. However I did not get selected as the filtration criteria was tough to crack, considering the number of students who were appearing for Mu Sigma placement test. I could have asked a senior to refer me directly, however I did not and now I am repenting. \ud83d\ude41 Let&#8217;s deep dive into my entire interview process.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-2625 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.naukri.com\/campus\/career-guidance\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/mu-sigma-with-logo-1.jpg\" alt=\"mu sigma interview experience pune\" width=\"740\" height=\"353\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.naukri.com\/campus\/career-guidance\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/mu-sigma-with-logo-1.jpg 740w, https:\/\/www.naukri.com\/campus\/career-guidance\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/mu-sigma-with-logo-1-150x72.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.naukri.com\/campus\/career-guidance\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/mu-sigma-with-logo-1-300x143.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" \/><\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_69_1 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title ez-toc-toggle\" style=\"cursor:pointer\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.naukri.com\/campus\/career-guidance\/mu-sigma-interview-experience\/#About_Mu_Sigma\" title=\"About Mu Sigma\">About Mu Sigma<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.naukri.com\/campus\/career-guidance\/mu-sigma-interview-experience\/#Summary_of_my_interview_at_Mu_Sigma\" title=\"Summary of my interview at Mu Sigma\">Summary of my interview at Mu Sigma<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.naukri.com\/campus\/career-guidance\/mu-sigma-interview-experience\/#My_Mu_Sigma_interview_in_detail\" title=\"My Mu Sigma interview in detail\">My Mu Sigma interview in detail<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.naukri.com\/campus\/career-guidance\/mu-sigma-interview-experience\/#More_interview_preparation_reference_material_for_freshers\" title=\"More interview preparation reference material for freshers\">More interview preparation reference material for freshers<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"About_Mu_Sigma\"><\/span>About Mu Sigma<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Mu Sigma, founded by\u00a0Dhiraj C Rajaram, is a management consulting firm which deals in data analytics solutions. Today, this company is into business intelligence solutions that service firms of all sizes and despite being an Indian company, Mu Sigma works with over 140 Fortune 500 companies. Clients include the likes of Uber and their headquarters are situated in Bangalore, India.<\/p>\n<p>Did you notice the name of the company? Does it ring a bell? Ok let me tell you. The firm&#8217;s name is very interesting as it has been derived from the statistical terms &#8220;Mu (\u03bc)&#8221; which symbolizes <strong>mean<\/strong> and &#8220;Sigma (\u03c3)&#8221; which symbolizes <strong>standard deviation<\/strong>, of a\u00a0probability distribution. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Summary_of_my_interview_at_Mu_Sigma\"><\/span>Summary of my interview at Mu Sigma<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Name: Saurabh Kamble<\/p>\n<p>Result: I was not selected<\/p>\n<p>Designation: Trainee Decision Scientist<\/p>\n<p>Package: 7 LPA<\/p>\n<p>Rounds: 2<\/p>\n<p>Date of my Mu Sigma placement interview test: 4th August<\/p>\n<p>Place: VIT, Pune<\/p>\n<p>Difficulty Level: Moderate<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"My_Mu_Sigma_interview_in_detail\"><\/span>My Mu Sigma interview in detail<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>I faced 2 rounds of interview namely written aptitude test and an HR-cum-Technical Case Studies round with Manger. Before the interview process began, we had an induction where we had a &#8220;video synthesis&#8221; round consisting of the CEO speaking about Mu Sigma&#8217;s values and competencies.<\/p>\n<p>Since I had applied through my college&#8217;s on-campus recruitment window, I was required to submit my latest resume on the spot once again. Thereafter I attended an online aptitude test. This was very basic in nature and I guess anyone with a knack to solve problems can crack it.<\/p>\n<p>As I moved on to my in-person interview, I realized it not only consisted of case studies, but also tricky behavioral interview questions. The interview panel literally grilled into my resume. They were particularly curious about my training and project work, and asked me a lot of questions about how I handled my project. The case\/brainteaser section which came up later was fun and I thoroughly enjoyed it.\u00a0In my first case interview question, the interviewer shared an almost realistic case with me. I was then asked to share a solution in 15 minutes. There were 2 people in the interview panel and one of them was a Senior manager. I was also asked other questions like, &#8220;How much milk is sold in India everyday?&#8221; and &#8220;How much toll is collected on DND flyover in Delhi everyday?&#8221; I tried to come up with realistic numbers and backed them with calculations. Later they asked me some more entirely hypothetical case questions like &#8220;How would you quantifying the success of a mail campaign for a large private sector bank?&#8221; which actually took me aback as I did not have realistic data to work with. Probably they sensed my hesitation at this point. They wanted to test the way I think, or approach the problems as concluding with a real number was not possible. The last questions was &#8220;What do you know about Mu Sigma?&#8221; and I answered it as confidently as I could, but I think they could sense that I was nervous.<\/p>\n<p>Hope my experiences will help you prepare better. All the best for your Mu Sigma interview test or any other interview lined up.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"More_interview_preparation_reference_material_for_freshers\"><\/span>More interview preparation reference material for freshers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.naukri.com\/campus\/career-guidance\/ibm-interview-questions-for-technical-support\">IBM Interview Questions for Technical Support<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.naukri.com\/campus\/career-guidance\/amazon-interview-questions-a-freshers-interview-experience\">Amazon Interview Questions for Customer Service<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.naukri.com\/campus\/career-guidance\/cognizant-technology-solutions-process-executive-placement-experience-10\">Cognizant Interview Questions for Process Executive<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.naukri.com\/campus\/career-guidance\/elitists-placement-experience\">Elitists Placement Experience for Analyst<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Have you attended an interview already?
