Mu Sigma Interview Experience for Freshers 10

I’ll tell you what I did, and what happens during the process. Things may be repeated from other answers as I haven’t read them all.

So, from my initial knowledge about the company, I always knew that they do something related to maths or stats or something like that. Thus, I had this presumption that I’ll be tested on my math skills somewhere during the process.

I’ve always been good with numbers and digits (I could memorise phone numbers and many details just by a gaze or two)  and I knew some tricks of my own, for quick calculation. So, I was relaxed on that mathematical part. To add to it, I’ve been into stats and statistical comparisons of almost anything that I come across, be it football matches, weather figures, or even nutrition information on food items. So,  I was positive about my interest in this work and ready.

Also, I was told that there will be a coding problem (simple programming code), so I was ready for it. (had CS as optional subject during +2). So,  you see, I was actually termed as made for this work.

Now, what Mu Sigma tests through its process is how much of a quick learner are you, you much  are you comfortable with unexpected work and decision making. So, from maths, the things come towards logical thinking.

To be frank, I never prepared for anything like that. I didn’t knew that I will be bombarded with puzzles until just the person before me told. However, being calm and relaxed helped me, alot. Like you see with anything related to our activities, we need a good start to settle down. Once I got thinking for a couple of puzzles, my mind was working like a race horse, and I was eager for more and more questions, and now even I can’t believe how cleverly I handled them.

The thing with puzzles is that, you may practice hundreds of them, and still might stuck on the one asked then. So, it is all about how wide you can think of, how you can relate things you say.

Mu Sigma doesn’t go heavy on speaking skills, but yes, little English on board is always better, at least for the impression.

So to pull it in points,

  1. Practice some elementary (10th grade)  maths, that’s all math knowledge you need (obviously, the more the better).
  2. Get some practice on data involving questions, something like pie charts or graphs, and quick calculation on that data.
  3. Be more open while thinking. Think big, think out of the box
  4. Oh yes, very basic programming knowledge is good (knowledge about loops would do).
  5. You show them what they are looking for, and that’s that, really.


Trust me, it’s all quite simple, just takes a person to understand what they actually want from you.
