Deloitte Interview Experience
Experience 1
Deloitte India – Campus Placement Experience (Paraphrased Version)
This year, Deloitte India visited our institute to conduct a recruitment drive. Our Training and Placement Officer (TPO) shared a registration link which allowed us to enroll and download our admit cards for the written test. To prepare, I referred to previous Deloitte question papers available on Unstop, as suggested by my seniors, and they proved extremely helpful. The complete hiring process included four stages: a Written Test, Deloitte Versant Assessment, Group Discussion, and an HR Interview.
Round 1: Written Test
The written assessment was divided into three sections:
| Section | Number of Questions | Time Duration |
| Aptitude | 14 | 20 minutes |
| Logical Reasoning | 14 | 14 minutes |
| Verbal Ability | 22 | 18 minutes |
Round 2: Versant Test
The Versant Test was conducted over a phone call via IVR (Interactive Voice Response), mainly to evaluate English communication and fluency. A minimum of 75 percentile was required to qualify. It had five sections:
📍 Section A
A 3-minute audio was played. After listening carefully, I had to answer questions related to the audio.
📍 Section B
IVR read out sentences with blanks, and I had to respond with the correct words, ensuring proper grammar.
📍 Section C
I was asked to fluently read a paragraph aloud for 1 minute and 30 seconds.
📍 Section D
A self-introduction was required, focusing on correct sentence structure and fluency.
📍 Section E
I had to speak for about a minute on a given topic — mine was “Effects of Global Warming”.
After the call ended, my result was shared directly via email.
Round 3: Group Discussion
Shortlisted candidates were grouped in teams of 6–7. We were given 10 minutes to prepare a discussion and present various viewpoints.
My group’s topic was “Save the Girl Child” and I highlighted the issue of female infanticide and its impact on the gender ratio in India.
Round 4: Face-to-Face Interview
I felt confident after clearing the earlier rounds. The HR interview was simple and focused mainly on:
- My self-introduction
- Educational background
- Final year project
- Personal interests and hobbies
No technical questions were asked in my interview.
Final Selection
Once all interviews were finished, the selected candidates’ names were announced — I was delighted to see mine on the list. Deloitte India sent my offer letter within a week, and the joining letter followed approximately one month later after accepting the offer.

Deloitte Campus Placement – Business Technology Analyst Role
Deloitte visited our campus to recruit candidates for the Business Technology Analyst (BTA) position. Students from all batches were allowed to participate, provided they had 60% or above and no active backlogs. The selection process consisted of three rounds:

Unlike a typical debate-style GD, this round was more of a collaborative presentation-based activity.
- Candidates were randomly placed into teams of 8 members
- Each group received a topic and 10 minutes to prepare
- Our assigned topic was “Leader vs Follower”
I made sure to participate actively, demonstrate teamwork, and communicate clearly. The focus was on assessing:
✔ Team collaboration
✔ Communication skills
✔ Professional behavior
A large number of candidates were eliminated in this round, and only those who performed well were shortlisted for the final interview.
Round 3: Technical + HR Interview
The final interview lasted around 35–40 minutes and included technical questions primarily based on my academic project.
Some of the questions asked were:
- Tell me about yourself
- Explain your final year project
- Who are the target users of your project?

- Program to find factorial of a number using recursion in C++
- What do you know about sorting algorithms?
- Define a Binary Search Tree
- What are joins in DBMS?
- Explain primary and foreign keys
- What is normalization?
Then the interviewer shifted to HR-based questions:
- You’re already working on a high-priority task and receive another urgent assignment — how would you manage both?
- What would you do if you found it difficult working with your team leader?
- Why do you believe you are suitable for this role?
- What are your long-term career goals?
- Why do you want to join Deloitte?
Experience 5
Deloitte visited my campus.
Our TPO had already told us about the drive and the eligibility criteria for the same. They had asked for a minimum cgpa of 6.5. No active backlogs. All branches were eligible for this drive.
There were 2 rounds:
- Online Exam
- Interview
Round 1: Online Test
- Section 1 – Quantitative Ability, 24 Questions, 35 minutes
- Section 2 – Logical Ability, 24 Questions, 35 minutes
- Section 3 – Verbal Ability, 25 Questions, 25 minutes
- Platform – AMCAT
- Duration – 1 hour 35 minutes
- Question Type – MCQ
- Difficulty – Easy to Med The questions are easy.
However the AMCAT does not allow you to change the answer once submitted so be careful while answering.
Also since I did not know the exact cutoff but I had heard and read that Deolitte’s cutoff is usually very high, I tried my best to answer as many questions as I can correctly.
There are no negative markings.
Round 2: Interview
- Platform – Zoom
- Duration- 40 minutes ( It varies from candidate to candidate)
This round was a combination of Technical as well as HR round.
The interviewer had my resume with him and he asked me questions based on that.
The questions that he asked included:
- Tell me about yourself.
- Describe a project that you worked on recently.
- Which programming language do you prefer? Why?
Then he asked me to share my screen and told me to write code in my notepad.
- Write a program to print first N Fibonacci Numbers.
- Write a program to swap two variables without using a temporary variable.
I was able to solve both of them.
Then he told me to stop the screen share.
Next he asked me a puzzle.
There are 3 mislabelled jars. One has type A, one has type B and the third has a combination of A and B. What are the minimum number of jars I have to open to label the jars correctly. I was able to answer this question easily, as I had read about it before.
Lastly he asked me some HR questions.
- Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
- What is your biggest achievement in your career?
- Were you in any clubs in your college?
- Why do you want to join Deloitte?
- Any questions for me?
The interview well went for me and I got a mail after a week stating that I had cleared the round and was selected for the profile.
