I was selected through the college internship drive for a 2 month internship at Barclays. The selection for aptitude test was based on resume and some Barclays and banking questions, through an online form submission. The aptitude test consisted of verbal, mathematical ability and critical reasoning. No programming questions asked. About half of the students were shortlisted for group discussion round.
GD round consisted of mobile banking and a general banking scenarios. Again, half of the students were selected for PI round. PI round had f2f interviews, one technical and other HR. Technical interview was based on DBMS and OS. HR questions were standard, like ' why Barclays? ', etc.
Overall a very nice experience, though rejected by Barclays.
