I applied through college or university. I interviewed at EY (Bengaluru) in Jan 2014

Step One of the Hiring Process entailed an Aptitude Test, which tested us on the grounds of Verbal ability, Quantitative Ability, Data & Logical Reasoning and MS Excel.
The shortlisted candidates had a one-on-one interview with the HR Personnel.
Furthermore, the Assurance candidates were subject to a round of Group Discussion, followed by two interviews.
However, the Tax candidates had only two rounds of interviews that followed. These interviews included certain technical questions, HR questions, and situation-based questions. It was concluded with a small case-study like problem.
