Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I talked with a senior manager first. She asked me why audit, why KPMG. And also asked me about my internships and my hobbies.
After I passed the first interview. I interview with partner. He asked me what did I do during collage, about my internship. And he asked some basic principles about accounting. Lastly he asked some english questions to test my pronunciation and speaking level.
Had a positive interview experience with KPMG. The process was fully online and easily accessible — no logistical hassles. The interviewer was extremely knowledgeable and made the conversation comfortable and engaging. They were patient, asked thoughtful questions, and the overall tone was more of a discussion than an interrogation. Would recommend being well-prepared on your fundamentals, but the environment is welcoming. Good experience overall.
I applied online. I interviewed at KPMG (Bangalore Rural) in Mar 2026
Interview
It was a two round interview, and as a CA fresher if you are well prepared with what is written in Resume and few fundamentals you can easily crack the interview.
Well structured and organised. Simple, non technical questions that can be prepared for. Interviewers are cordial and professional. There was 3 interviews in total from what I can recall. Originally with the HR team and then in the later rounds more of the business leaders.
