Why this competition matters

PPO / PPI opportunity · top finishers get a pre-placement offer or interview, bypassing the regular shortlist.

Resume signal · recognised by recruiters across consulting, FMCG, tech, and finance recruiters.

Real-world problem · cases mirror live business issues from Ernst & Young, not textbook exercises.

PPO at EY + ₹3 Lakhs prize pool · prize and recognition that travel on your resume for years.

Your prep checklist

  1. 1Read the brief 3x. Note the exact ask · don't solve the problem you wish was asked.
  2. 2Pick 2 frameworks max · Market Entry, Profitability, or GTM cover 80% of finance cases.
  3. 3Run a 30-min hypothesis sprint with your team before opening Excel.
  4. 4Build your deck back-to-front: recommendation first, then evidence, then appendix.
  5. 5Stress test: have one teammate red-team your numbers and assumptions.
  6. 6Rehearse the 60-second pitch · judges decide in the first slide.
