All interviews of CA Rankers & Most Interviews in Campus Placements have Group discussion rounds where they generally provide a Case Study to be discussed in 15-20 minutes.
These case studies could get quite overwhelming for candidates who have never practiced them.
CA Rankers - Marico/ABG/BCG all had case study as a basis of selecting candidates
Campus Interviews - ITC/BPCL also had case studies.
All the case studies were either related to the operations of the company or something related to CA Curriculum. (ITC's case study is an exception here, they are too generic & common sense oriented). I'll provide you the draft case studies that were provided in the interviews. MARICO (Salary - Rs. 22 Lacs) - A FMCG Company is going to launch a new product in the market. The company is dependent on external distribution channels. The union head of the retail owners started opposing the launch by asking for more margin to distribute the goods. Company has invested a huge amount in the production of this product. What will you do as the Managing Director of the company. ABG (Salary - Rs. 15 Lacs) - You're the CFO of the company and you need to decide on which company to invest from the available options of four companies. BPCL (Salary - Rs. 16 Lacs) - You are the CFO of the company. The CEO of the company asks you to not show certain obsolete stocks in the books of accounts. You're going to loose your position in case you deny this. What will you do? ITC (Salary - Rs. 17 Lacs) - ITC asks a lot of Case Studies which are based on Common Sense & Problem Solving. You can read all those cases here in detail.
