Group Case Study
The assessment-centre exercise used at spring week and summer internship stage: 4-6 candidates are given a short brief — a company, a client situation, sometimes a live news injection — and typically 45-60 minutes to prepare a 10-minute recommendation to a panel, followed by Q&A. No modelling is required and no finance background is assumed. What is scored is behaviour in a group: whether you build on other people’s points, whether you keep time, whether you make sure everyone speaks. Dominating the group scores worse than saying less and structuring better.
