1) Online Application 2) Verbal and Numerical Reasoning Tests 3) Phone Interview Behavioural questions Motivational questions Questions about your previous work experience - Why HSBC? - Why did you apply to the MA Programme? - Describe a time when you had to use your network connections. - Describe a time when you led a team - Describe a time when you solved a problem etc... 4) Assessment Centre - Business Case Study (4 people in a group, 20 minutes to read a case and 25 minutes to discuss the case. One HR and two line managers were there) - Role Play (One on one with line manager) They then evaluated your performance for the two tasks then would ask you for a final interview with one of the line managers if performed well. - Final interview: Questions were similar to those in the phone interview. They then asked me to wait for a phone call and I would be contacted within 2 weeks - still waiting now. But I heard some people got their offers the day after the AC.

5 rounds: CV, Online Assessment through SHL, one-way Video Interview, Group Case, and Final Interview. Total time taken from beginning till end: 3 months. I believe a strong CV with relevant experience in banking or activities that shows yourself as a dynamic person with good problem-solving mindset (case competitions, side projects) is a key to successfully pass first 3 rounds.
