I applied through college or university. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at ZS Associates (Pune) in Jul 2021
Interview
The interview was very thorough. We had 3 rounds in phase 1 and 2 rounds in phase 2. Each round was an elimination round. It was a thrilling experience. The first 3 rounds were Aptitude, PSDD and AI based video interview. The list for shortlisted candidates came 2 days after phase 1. Then the 2nd phase had a case study round, a debrief round(which took place around 2 hours after the case study solving round), and a HR interview (whose link we got after clearing the case study round). I was grillled on about everything I wrote in my answer sheets for the case study. HR interview was also very thorough. Usually it lasted for 30 minutes for most people. But mine was taken for an hour. The results were announced the same day. I got selected as a BOA in ZS!
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Business terms, business acumen was tested, situational and behavioural questions were asked. Guesstimates and puzzles too. My guesstimate was "How much paint is required to paint a plane" and puzzle was "There is a farmer w 100 cows that give milk in liters equal to their number. For eg, 1st cow gives 1 L, 2nd cow gives 2L, etc. He has to divide them equally into his 10 sons. How will he do it?"
The interviewer was cordial and helped me out when I was stuck somewhere. I had a terrible flu and fever, my interview didn't go well but the cordial support made it bearable to face the interview.

Fairly easy interview. The HR team did not provide any feedback. Even though the interview went very well I was not selected. Tried to contact the HR team but didn't get any reply or feedback.
