PWC comes to our campus in 1st week of September 2021. So it was an on-campus recruitment program. There are a total of 4 rounds in the selection procedure of PWC India.
1st round: It was an entry-level assessment test that consists of 3 parts. Quantitive Aptitude, Logical Reasoning and General English.
