I applied through college or university. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Boston Consulting Group (New Delhi) in Dec 2019
Interview
There were two rounds of interviews with two partners at BCG. Each lasted about 30 minutes. The first one-third of both rounds went into discussing my background and motivation to join management consulting. This was followed by a 20-minute case interview in both rounds. The interviewers were very pleasant in both these conversations.
