ZS Associates Interview Experience for Business Technology Solutions Associate (On-Campus)

There were two phases in the Interview Process:

• First Phase: Platform- Talview
• Second Phase: Technical interview- Monjin Platform

First Phase: Platform- Talview

Round 1(Aptitude): This is a basic aptitude round consisting of 45 questions to be completed in  40 minutes. Questions were on the topics:

• Quantitative Analysis                  
• Verbal Ability                          
• Data Interpretation  
• Logical Reasoning                          
• Computer fundamentals            
• DBMS

Tip: 

• Just try to be quick and attempt as many as you can, give timed mock tests. 
• Do not leave any question unmarked since it has no negative marking.

Round 2(PSDD – Problem Solving Deep Dive ): This round included a small case study related to some business scenario where you are required to answer 8-10 MCQ questions based on the case study in around 30 Minutes. You cannot go back to the previous question in this round.

Round 3(Video Interview): This will be a video interview round where you are supposed to record your answer for about 3 Mins each for 2 questions. The questions are scenarios based and there might be some guesstimates but their probability is low.

Tip: Before speaking, compose your answer thoroughly and try to include various aspects of the solution. Give this with a calm mind and try to speak fluently without any pauses.

Note – All Rounds are elimination round.

Second Phase: Technical interview- Monjin Platform

The second phase is a technical online interview conducted by Monjin Platform. The duration of the interview is 30 mins. Questions were on the topics:

• SQL – We had to write the SQL queries in the chatbox.                         
• DBMS – Concepts of keys, DBMS vs RDBMS                                                  
• About ZS Associates
• Logical Reasoning Puzzles- Like complete the pattern, or find the missing number

Tip: Prepare your SQL basics and some of the advanced topics

The interviewer may ask you to write queries so revise concepts of aliasing and optimizations you can employ in your queries. 

Questions that I was asked were:

• Concept of aliasing, concatenation, clauses, joins
