Re-checked 2 Nov 2026 (OPR-RES-010): the 67-question, 90-minute layout is consistent across prep sources but not published by Deloitte; eligibility is from Deloitte's own 2026-batch notice. No 2027-batch NLA had been announced. Confirm the section split, counts and cutoffs on your NLA notification.

How the test works

Reported

Deloitte's India fresher/campus hiring runs through the National Level Assessment (NLA), used for both on-campus and off-campus 2026-batch hiring (typical roles: Analyst Trainee / Associate Analyst). The OA is a single ~90-minute, fully online, video/audio-proctored test of roughly 67 questions: ~65 MCQs split across English (13), General Aptitude/Reasoning+Quant (22), and Computer Fundamentals/Technical (~30), PLUS 2 live coding problems. NO negative marking. Reported as a single 90-min timer with NO per-section timing on HirePro, so you manage your own time across sections. Whether you can go back to an earlier section is disputed (PrepInsta says yes, placementpreparation.io says no). Typical funnel: online registration -> academic screening (Deloitte's 2026-batch notice: 60% or 6.5 CGPA in the current degree and no active backlogs; it sets no 10th/12th or gap rule) -> NLA online assessment -> technical + HR interview (often combined) -> offer. RECENT CHANGES: the older GD / JAM (Just-A-Minute) round has been dropped from the current process, and coding is now embedded directly inside the OA rather than a separate later round. CAVEATS ON PRECISION: exact per-section counts (especially the ~30 technical MCQs) differ slightly between sources and by hiring cycle/role, and non-technical/commerce tracks weight business-analytical and communication skills more than coding. Also note this India campus NLA format is DIFFERENT from Deloitte's global (US/UK/experienced) gamified 'Immersive Online Assessment' and job-simulation/situational-judgement tests - do not conflate the two.

How the interviews go

Reported
  1. 1Online personal interview (technical + behavioural, ~25-40 min)

Projects and architecture, OOP, SQL, Java basics, cloud fundamentals, sometimes live coding; 'Why Deloitte'. Conducted online (HirePro reported).

Based on several candidates' reports, checked 2 Nov 2026. Interviews vary by drive and interviewer.

What to prep

  • English/Verbal: grammar, vocabulary, sentence correction, fill-in-the-blanks, reading comprehension - do NOT neglect it; it is the most heavily weighted section
  • Quantitative aptitude: percentages, ratio & proportion, time-speed-distance, time & work, P&C, probability, number system
  • Logical reasoning: puzzles, seating arrangement, series, syllogisms, blood relations, directions, data sufficiency
  • Computer fundamentals: DS & algorithms, DBMS/SQL, OS, computer networks, OOP concepts, plus conceptual cloud & cybersecurity
  • Coding: arrays, strings, recursion and basic algorithms - fully solve the easier problem first; practice on PrepInsta / GeeksforGeeks; use a fast-to-write language (Python/Java)
  • Speed & accuracy under a single shared 90-min timer with no sectional limits - budget your own time and, since there's no negative marking, attempt everything
  • Communication/HR readiness for the combined technical + HR interview that follows the OA

Cut-offs and eligibility (indicative)

Reported

Sectional cutoffs are NOT officially published by Deloitte and vary by drive/college. The English/Verbal section is very widely reported to carry the most weight / highest sectional bar (one aggregator cites a verbal cutoff around 8 correct); the overall qualifying score is an unofficial estimate in the ~70-80% range. Treat every cutoff figure as indicative, not guaranteed. Because there is NO negative marking, attempt every question regardless of cutoff rumors.
