I applied through other source. I interviewed at BNP Paribas
Interview
The assessment day is made up of a maths test, sales game, trading game and one interview.
For the sales game you're given various pieces of data about 5 made up stocks such as P/E ratios, market cap etc. Then in your group you have to decide on which stock to pitch and then you present a 5 minute pitch.
The trading game is quite manic and lots of people don't really know what's going on so for that I'd recommend just being really talkative - I was a sales person for this game, and personally, I felt this was quite a good role if you like talking.
The maths test is pretty basic, wouldn't worry about that. From what I remember, there are a few percentage questions, along with exchange rates.
My interview was mainly competency based. Had to talk through my CV, why BNP Paribas, what I did in my previous summer internship etc. Technical questions I was asked were 'what do you know about Global Markets?' - I know someone else who was asked 'where do you see the industry in 5 years time?'
I didn't get asked any logical questions but I know a few people from previous assessment centres who were asked things like 'why are manhole covers round?' and 'how many oranges have been eaten in USA today?'
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at BNP Paribas (Mumbai) in Nov 2018
Interview
Fast and smooth process. 2 technical round followed by HR round. Hardly took 3 hours as there were enough number of panels to conduct interview.Overall it was a good experience.

I applied online. I interviewed at BNP Paribas in Jan 2019
Interview
The interview process was made to be very relaxed. There were a lot of technical questions ask and were geared towards what the job would be about. The manager interviewing was definitely knowledgeable and knew exactly what he was looking for and didn't make you feel "little" if you didn't know the answer.
