Recently, PhonePe visited our Tier-1 campus for the Graduate Trainee role. The skills they emphasized were SQL, Python, Excel, analytical ability, and problem-solving skills.
📝 Process Structure:
Online Test (OT)
Group Discussion (GD)
Personal Interview 1 (PI1)
Personal Interview 2 (PI2)
👥 Around 600+ students applied as per eligibility criteria and took the Online Test. The test covered aptitude topics such as:
Data Interpretation
Profit & Loss
Probability
Logical Deduction
Puzzles
Passages & Grammar checks
The test was of easy to moderate difficulty. Out of all participants, around 60 students were shortlisted for GD, and I was fortunate to be one of them.
💬 My GD topic was: “Will OTT platforms dominate over traditional platforms?”
The discussion lasted for ~25 minutes with a panel of 8–12 members. It was a great learning experience to put across structured thoughts in a competitive environment.
Although I couldn’t make it past the GD stage, the entire process was an immense learning opportunity. It gave me insights into where I can improve and how to prepare better for upcoming placements.
