I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at BlackRock (Goregaon) in Sep 2019
Interview
This was conducted at Mumbai Office in Goregaon.
I had two interviews first one with the VP and then the technical head. Interview with VP was very interactive and general about bonds, interest rates, general global news about the economy. Interview with technical head was more about the skills in resume and any internship that you had done. Example if you list python or R or SQL you maybe asked about the projects and questions like why did you select the specific tech stack so on.
