I applied through university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley (Bengaluru) in Sept 2016
Interview
They hand out a test paper involving questions on derivatives, NAV, accounting and a few questions on recent financial news. (This was not an elimination test). 3 rounds. First one being technical wherein clearing it would lead to the next two rounds. Intense round of questions in the first round pertaining to derivatives, NAV, and accounting. The first round lasted for about 25 minutes and was not shortlisted for the next two rounds. It was a decent interview experience where the interviewers make you feel comfortable and aren't too grilling either.

Question 1
Was told to calculate NAV, asked basic derivative questions like the difference between forwards and futures, an accounting question on prepaid expenses, questions on options (No strategies)
Three rounds. First over the phone with HR. Second round via zoom. Final round in person. Spread out over 3 months. Using AI for scheduling and setting up calendar invites.
First round with sector head then second round with written test including a model test translation and then last round meet apac head, solid stock pitch needed, overall not really difficult
It will be around 5 rounds with intense questions based on your skills listed in resume. Be confident and answer them. Make sure you have all the skills listed in resume
