The interview consists of a series of 8-10 behavioral interview questions (situational, drawing from work or school experience). There were some drill-down questions, mainly to probe for additional details. Light mutual fund concept questions at the start (e.g. what is a NAV, what's a MF, etc), but not difficult.

I was told there'd be a couple rounds of interviews but in the end there was only one. After that it took a month or so before their HR team based in India contacted me saying I had been shortlisted for the role.
