Name: Pankaj Saini (20191033) Civil Engineering Round 1 It consisted of 4 sections (algebra, data interpretation, speed math, and guess estimate of questions you have done) having 85 questions which must be completed in 46 minutes. One important thing | would like to focus on is those memory-based questions. A DI question used to appear on the screen now you have to memorize it you cannot go back and 3-4 questions will be asked. Round 2 Out of around 180 students who appeared for the online test 26 were shortlisted for this round. This was a basic HR round But | was preparing for specific Finance role so they asked me more technical questions regarding finance. To check intelligence, they show me a picture and ask questions after 6-7 minutes and then show a 17-digit number (98739345581030500) for 40 seconds and asked after 5-6 minutes of conversation. And the best part was that | answered them correctly. Then my interviewer asked me to ask him some questions and then it was my turn to test them ;) | asked 3 questions back-to-back: 1. Why futures first do not trade in Indian markets although Indian markets are emerging markets and NSE is world's largest derivatives traded exchange. 2. It is time of algos and systematic trading is discretionary trading done at futures first? 3. You have been part of this company from scratch how is your experience at futures first? So, this round also ended and | was one of those who made it to the next one! Round 3 Out of 26 students 8 were shortlisted for this round. It was a group activity. We were 4 students in a group and 2 people from futures first who were conducting the activity. It was a buzzer round and we were asked aptitude questions and puzzles the one who answered first got a positive score and if it answers is wrong then a negative score. With every 4 questions the scores were increasing (+1, — 1) (+2/-2), and so on. It was a stress round and demanded we take risks. And the best part was that | again made it to the next round Round 4Out of 8 students 3 were shortlisted for this round. This was a basic HR round like Why Futures First? Your family background, why not a core company? Etc. Then my interviewer asked me to ask him some questions and again | ask them some questions back-to-back. Round 5 Out of 3 students, all of us were selected. There was a surprise round in which we got the chance to interact with the branch head. He was expected to clarify any doubts we had regarding the job profile, so | asked him eight or nine questions. After 15-20 minutes of wait all 3 of us were selected. This was a feeling that cannot be described. ADDITIONAL TIPS: Be confident, honest, and well-behaved all during your interview rounds. They’re looking for the best character and not the best trader.
