Patterns, regulations, history of other bankrupt companies, consequences of insider trading were studied. Shareholding for the last decade and day in-out transactions data for the script were sourced from NSE.

The entrants are expected to complete Task 1 (gauging Genera financial knowledge) and Task 2 (testing technical skills) to the best of their ability within the deadlines.
