2 Interview Guide McKinsey & Company Acknowledgements No words can express our gratitude to Pranjal Jain and Mukul Tuli from McKinsey&Company who spent a ton of time getting our resumes right and ensuring that we are well prepared for the case interviews, personal questions, job related questions, etc. The Y3 batch truly appreciates your efforts. We would also like to thank everyone at the Student Placement Office (SPO), especially Jayasree Chatterjee Mam, for their constant efforts to get us started for a great career ahead. Last but not least we would like to thank all our seniors who have helped us at numerous points in time during the last four year addressing our concerns right from the counselling to taking the right courses and closer to placements making sure we put our best foot in the interview room. This is the first edition of the guide and the Y3 batch students would like the tradition to be carried forward by the future batches and make the coming editions of this publication a rich source of information for all consulting aspirants.
3 Interview Guide McKinsey & Company How to use this Guide This guide is more about “What to Prepare?” rather than “How to Prepare?” The latter question, we believe, is for an individual to decide. As this guide is being written at the point of time when only one of the consulting company (McKinsey&Company) come, you may feel that that this guide would be only helpful for those aiming at McKinsey. But we would like to clear that all the top management consulting companies like BCG and Bain have a similar pattern of selection and have similar case studies in their interviews. The purpose of this interview guide is to give you a head start for the consulting interviews preparation. We have listed most of the cases that we were asked during the interviews here. Some of the cases have suggested approaches. Please treat these approaches as only representative. There are no right answers as far as cases are concerned. It is very much possible that you might think of different, more comprehensive or even better ways of solving the cases that we were asked. There are also several case guides of other universities available in electronic form. It is advisable to read those professional guides prior to going through what we have written. The professional guides will help in getting started as they are very structured. That’s all the funda that we can give. Have fun with the preparation.
