I applied through university. I interviewed at Samagra Development Associates in Sept 2024
Interview
Campus placement process, interviewed by two VPs. was asked cases around designing vaccination camps and setting up helplines during the pandemic. Development sector cases like this don't fit traditional framework, and instead need creation of an issue tree with A and A' branches at every step.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Where I was from, why I wanted to work in impact. Before jumping into the case
I interviewed at Samagra Development Associates (New Delhi)
Interview
I had 2 interviews - one with another senior consultant and another with the VP. Both were cases in the impact sector; mostly related to the impact sector. These cases are pretty interviewer driven. They do try and poke holes in your approach but all in all it feels like a discussion. I quite enjoyed it although I'm quite scared of cases.
