I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Deutsche Bank in Jul 2010
Interview
The process is good, skill tests conducted were of basic level. Interviewers had good command over the topics. Human Resource Managers contacted me through a third-party agency. I was given a specific day to appear for the first technical round. The interviewer questioned me on credit related topics. Post the technical interview HR chatted me for a few minutes.
I got another call for a case study and final interview test. The case study was quite tricky though I was able to fully understand it.
The case study was tested by two Global managers and it went very well.
I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Deutsche Bank (Mumbai) in Dec 2011
Interview
The process started with a pre-placement talk about the Corporate and Investment Banking (CIB) center of Deutsche Bank in Mumbai. This was followed by a written test based on analytical skills. Questions were similar to management exams, however they were pretty difficult for the time allotted. There was a general essay as well.
Based on the test and the candidates' resumes, a preliminary shortlist was created. Each shortlisted candidate was assigned a mentor for preparations for the interview. The "mentor" did actually evaluate the candidate rather than help him.
The final interviews consisted of 2 to 3 rounds, each comprising of a different panel (of 3 interviewers). The questions mainly comprised of analytical puzzles and various HR questions. A justification on joining the finance industry and DB was demanded.
