The first stage are analytical games that judge the kind of person you are. Pretty easy and don’t need any preparation. The second phase is the coding online interview. this is a 80 minute interview
I applied through college or university. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at J.P. Morgan (Bengaluru)
Interview
It was an on campus interview consisting of three rounds.
Round 1: Coding Round
Round 2: Communication Skills
Round 3: Hackathon (Code for Good)
After the last round I was pretty confident that I would be selected even doing most work in the hackathon, but 2 members were selected for hiring: One contributed much in hackathon like me but another has petty contributions. This happened with some other teams as well.
Felt bad because less hard-working people than me got the hiring offer.

Question 1
Round 1:
There were 2 coding questions to be solved in 60 minutes. One problem was on string with contructing palindrome in the string(Easy). Second problem was a sliding window problem(Medium).
Round 2:
Describe a situation where you had to take a decision at the last moment.
What do expect working as a team player?
Round 3:
It was their hackathon round where students from different colleges were pooled to make multiples teams of 5-6 members each. The NPO would give a problem statement that we had to provide a solution to in 24 hours.
There was an one-to-one interview by the mentor with each team member in private. They ask your contribution in the hackathon, past projects and future plans etc.
I applied through college or university. The process took 7 months. I interviewed at J.P. Morgan (Mumbai) in Jul 2020
Interview
It was a campus recruitment drive. The process was divided into 3 parts as:
1. Two medium level coding questions on Hackerrank.
2. Pre-recorded video interview on HireVue platform where I was asked two HR questions.
3. Code for Good Hackathon - 34-hour hackathon where there were 40 teams with 6 members in each and 4 NGOs with a challenge. Each NGO was allotted 10 teams to solve the challenge. During the hackathon, not only your coding skills are tested but other skills such as communication with the teammates, mentors, approach to the problems faced during the hackathon.
In between the hackathon, the mentors asked me to join the breakout room to have a one-to-one conversation. It was a general discussion about what do you do in your free time, what are you learning in the lockdown, do you like coding, etc. They asked me if I have any questions to ask them, then I asked them 2 questions which I prepared before the hackathon because it is good to ask good questions rather than the generic ones.
