My cousin belongs to the 2020 batch of B.tech at MNNIT Allahabad. Goldman Sachs visited the campus for an internship for their batch. The general selection criteria for this internship are:
If you are preparing for getting selected at Goldman Sachs, just focus on your problem-solving and coding skills. Also in their technical round, you will be asked Quant questions that are very hard if you lack practice in that. Yes, Quant questions are the type of questions that are asked in CAT exams.
However, it is quite common to see students with a CPI of 8 or higher being selected most. This is the harsh truth, thus you might see your name in the first shortlist but not in the second list as your CPI is lower. Hence, work hard enough to get a CPI of 8 or higher and emphasize more and more on your coding skills as the coding exam for Goldman is very tough.
