I applied through college or university. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at ZS Associates (Pune) in Jul 2021
Interview
The entire selection process was divided into 2 phases: 1) The phase one had total 3 rounds. Each round was an elimination round. In round 1, it had total 50 questions out of which 30 were based on logical and quantitative aptitude, 10 questions were based on SQL and C/C++ and remaining 10 were based on Language Comprehension. Total allotted was of 45 mins. Then, If round 1 cleared it gets redirected to round 2 which is known as "Problem Solving Deep Dive", in which a case given is given to you and you have to answer 8 questions based on that case study. If you qualify round 2 then again the page gets redirected to round 3, which was an online interview, where 2 questions were given and 10 seconds were allotted to read and understand the questions, and after that we have to answer those 2 questions in 6 minutes. This complete round got recorded and was sent to company for further selection. This was the conclusion of 1 phase process. 2) Phase two had only two rounds, both rounds were in person (virtual) interview. The round one (technical) interview was based on technical understanding and SQL implementation. This round went for 25 mins. Basic technical questions based on SQL, Projects and OOP were asked. And the very last round (round 2) of the selection was EBI+FIT Round it was a HR as well as Technical round, where they asked about some technical questions, many behaviour and HR questions, one guesstimate and some resume based questions.

Question 1
For online assessment, there were total 50 MCQs and the breakout was as follows: 1)25- Aptitude Questions 2)15- English Comprehension Questions 3)10- SQL, C/C++ Pseudo codes to debug and predict the output. The overall difficulty of Online Test is hard. Total time for the online test was 45 mins.
For Online Recorded Interview, there were 2 questions for 3 mins each. You get 10 seconds to read the questions and you have to start speaking the answer after 10 seconds of the mentioned question. The recording can't be paused but the maximum time limit to give your answer is 3 mins. You can expect a technical (Explain any technical concept) and a non-technical (Puzzle, Guesstimates, Behavioral Question). The overall difficulty is easy.
For EBI+FIT Round, you can expect the following things: 1) Your brief Introduction. 2) Your project explanation and some questions based on it. 3) Puzzles/Guesstimates 4) Thorough screening of your and questions based on technologies, skills and hobbies mentioned in your Resume. 5) Typical HR Questions. (Why ZS? Why Consultancy? What do you know about ZS? What do you expect from ZS?). The overall difficulty is hard. Total duration is 40-50 mins.
Applied with 2 referrals. 30 min quick phone screening. Second round Python and SQL OA. Third round unstructured case study and SQL questions. Final round includes a 1 hour structured case study and 45 min behavioral. Case studies do not require much prep in my opinion and are very conceptual. However, your interviewer does matter. As a native English speaker, I had a very hard time understanding my final case study interviewer and believe my clarifying questions might've been the rejection.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at ZS Associates (London, England)
