    Hey all,

    Please find attached the second case study, you'll note that it's a fair bit chunkier than the last one.

    This case study mirrors the style of a real written exercise I had during an assessment centre. It's testing, among others, your ability to analyse large quantities of information, structure your writing and form an opinion.

    Kindly note, unfortunately we lack the capacity to provide individualised feedback any more, but you can find a sample points to note within our M&A Course.

    Good luck!

    Hi Jaysen

    Wondering what your bandwidth is right now, and whether you will be able to give feedback! My AC for the India Internship is in exactly 10 days, any help would be greatly greatly appreciated!

    Hi @Humanelawyer02 I don't believe that TCLA provides individualised feedback on this case study anymore but please note that we have a case study interview service that you can feel free to check out here. I am also linking some of our resources for case study interview prep below-
    Wishing you all the very best for your India internship AC- do let us know how it goes!

    Hey! I really wish we could, but unfortunately we are no longer able to provide individual feedback (this was much easier when we were smaller!).

    Good luck with your AC. I'm sure you'll be great.
