I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at BlackRock (Gurgaon, Haryana) in May 2013
Interview
It was pretty fast and in my opinion fair as well. Though the HR is very aggressive. The interviewer is not educated and since he is in the system for so long he gets to conduct the interviews. All they use is google before interviewing a candidate which in my opinion is very lame. They judge you on the basis of your book knowledge and not practical experience.

Question 1
What is Convexity and Duration and what is the difference between them?
HireVue may ask about recent news, why you chose BlackRock, which company principle matters most to you, and why you applied for this position — answering well can secure acceptance.

Question 1
They asked me, “Why did you choose BlackRock, and how does our purpose align with your professional values?”
The interview went well but for some reason i was not selected, maybe i was not the suitable for the job role they had. The process had 3 rounds aptitude, technical and hr round.
