J'ai postulé via une agence de recrutement. Le processus a pris 4 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez KPMG (Gurgaon, Haryana) en avr. 2026
Entretien
The interview process was not about knowing everything. It was more about:
Confidence
Clear communication
Positive attitude
Willingness to learn
One thing I learned: rejections do not define your capability. Sometimes you just need one opportunity that matches your efforts.
Walking into this process after many disappointments made this offer feel even more special for me.
The interview process will consist of two rounds followed by a final Partner round. The overall difficulty level is expected to be easy to moderate. The focus will primarily be on assessing your basic technical knowledge, conceptual clarity, and practical understanding of core fundamentals. If you have worked thoroughly on the basics and understand the practical application of concepts, the interview can be cleared comfortably. Make sure you revise key topics, be structured in your answers, and demonstrate confidence while responding. With proper preparation and a calm, confident approach, this process can be easily cracked.
