Hi Aditya..... All they look for is "the Confident You"

Be bold, be honest and don't take tooo many advices before the interview, from many sources that may perplex & scare you.
Prove them that you have an excellent command over the most authoritative language, English.
Be prepared to convince them that your CV is what it means. Have valid points to talk about yourself.
Big4's look for Quality in their interns. Therefore highlight the positives of your family setup.
They may put you through a rigorous test of patience, endure it.

For the technical part, be conversant with AS.

They test more of your Character, IQ and EQ.

Never forget....... a sound technical mind is also indispensable.

They've got about 6-7 rounds of interview..... Written.. PI.... GD.... HR and blah.. Blah... blah

All the best!
