I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at J.P. Morgan (Mumbai) in Mar 2011
Interview
Just 1 interview (4 interviewers - 2 technical, 2 HR)
1. Economics based questions - Typically on the market scenario. For me, it was about the 2008 financial crisis. But that was the question they asked for most of students because it was a popular issue then
2. Finance/Portfolio based questions - Based on my projects. Questions were direct testing my basic knowledge
3. HR questions: Just basic to understand my basic persona and if I fit into their culture
4. Role explanation: To make us understand what our role would be like. But the issue is that as young grad it is tough to connect ever role description well. It becomes much more easier to understand once you have started working and get an understanding on how corporate works

Being informed by HR to meet with the hiring manager directly, have to be wait a bit for the hiring manager. Then chat with the manager about yourself and how can you contribute to the company.
The initial screen was on Zoom. The interviewer asked about my skills within this role, my past experiences, and some technical questions. I was asked to rate my skills in different areas such as speaking, programming, and finance.
Before the interview, I made sure my resume was updated and I spent time on preparation and practice. I knew there would be questions about my background, skills, strengths, and weaknesses, so I tried to have clear answers ready. During the conversation I focused on confidence, good body language, and eye contact to make a strong first impression. I had researched the company, thought about my career goals, and tried to show a professional attitude. Afterward, I sent a follow-up email to thank them for the opportunity and ask for feedback.
