I applied through university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Anonymous (Bangalore Rural) in Jun 2024
Interview
There were 1 aptitude round, 2 technical rounds and HR round and it was on campus recruitment. Basic aptitude, tricky technical questions and average HR round. Overall a smooth process.
Online Assessment
The first stage consisted of an online test with two components:
Python Coding Question: Tested problem-solving and programming ability.
Linear Regression Task: Required implementing a simple linear regression model on a given dataset.
Interview Rounds
The interview process included three rounds:
Round 1 – Technical/Project Discussion
Focused on projects mentioned in the resume and recent internships. Candidates were expected to explain their work in detail, highlighting technical skills, methodologies, and outcomes.
Round 2 – Case Interview
Similar to a consulting case interview, this round assessed problem-solving, analytical thinking, and the ability to structure solutions to business problems.
Round 3 – HR Interview
The final round was an HR discussion covering behavioral questions, motivation for joining McKinsey, and alignment with the firm’s values and culture.
