The process started with a pre-placement talk about the Corporate and Investment Banking (CIB) center of Deutsche Bank in Mumbai. This was followed by a written test based on analytical skills. Questions were similar to management exams, however they were pretty difficult for the time allotted. There was a general essay as well. Based on the test and the candidates' resumes, a preliminary shortlist was created. Each shortlisted candidate was assigned a mentor for preparations for the interview. The "mentor" did actually evaluate the candidate rather than help him. The final interviews consisted of 2 to 3 rounds, each comprising of a different panel (of 3 interviewers). The questions mainly comprised of analytical puzzles and various HR questions. A justification on joining the finance industry and DB was demanded.

Straightforward. All of the questions which one would expect to be asked for a position of this type in this location. There were no surprises. There were multiple questions which were asked by the interviewer.
