1. First there was a screening that had various aptitude, English, and pattern matching questions.
2. A short-list was made based on the above test. These candidates were called for the interview. First, there was a power-point presentation on the company which is important as they may ask questions from what is shown in the slides. Then there was the technical round. The interviewer asked questions from past internships, projects, theory based on his/her particular department. Also, some random situations were described where we had to find a solution. A simple C++ code (palindrome) was asked.
3. After clearing the technical round, there was a partner round. Here also the questions were from internships, etc.
4. Finally in the HR round, we were asked why we wanted to be a consultant, why we wanted to join PwC instead of joining a core company, etc.
