In the written - It was 2 large subjective questions on Contracts and Companies Act. If I recall, one of the questions was on Sec 111A of the older Companies Act (Free Transferability of shares) where we could right about 7-8 landmark judgments. Then, there were 3 further subjective questions (but, relatively short) on Property Law (Types of Mortgages); Definition of Transfer, in particular context of mergers by order of the court (Delhi Towers Judgment, and it's precedents), Registration Act (Section 17, 49).
The top five went to final interview. It was then a pure play stress test! Basic questions - essentials of a valid contract, but then the rebuttals from the partner would literally sweat you out. It was terrible, probably my worst performance, and the only interview failure till date despite top scores in written!
I hear they pretty much follow the same routine in campus recruitment even today, but a recent entrant may be able to confirm.
Get your fundamentals clear..all the best!
Additionally, if you’re sitting for corp - definitely be well-versed with company law, contract and TPA basics - stuff like M&A, indemnity guarantee difference etc.
