I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at McKinsey & Company (Gurgaon, Haryana) in Jun 2008
Interview
I was placed directly from my B School. The process started at 8AM and ended at 7 PM.
There were 4 rounds of interview and a written test.
Written test had aptitude, analytical, English vocabulary and comprehension
Interview rounds included HR, 2 - Problem Solving rounds and Sector specific questions
Straightforward, well structured & well explained. Long duration, with 5 30-ish minute interviews total spread out over the course of a couple of weeks. Great support, information on requirements/evaluations readily available.
Too long - too many rounds. Had to play a game first, then multiple rounds. No follow ups after I was rejected - I got ghosted.
Did not enjoy it - obviously this was a long while back and I was too young to notice but not a good behaviour. Truly no respect.
The process made me feel very unprepared but I was able to get through with all of my studying. I would recommend anyone about to interview with them look at Harvard Business cases as reference
