The MinTraq readiness lens for EY India
MinTraq measures readiness in four areas. Here is how each one applies at EY India.
Strong grounding in your service line, such as accounting, tax, valuation or technology, is the baseline, along with the ability to apply it to a client's situation.
Expect judgement to matter in handling tight deadlines, conflicting client needs and professional scepticism where integrity must come first.
Leadership tends to show in coaching teammates, managing engagement quality and building client trust, long before any formal management role.
AI readiness matters across audit and advisory, so show how you use AI to work faster while keeping professional judgement and confidentiality intact.
Same company, different preparation

Common questions about preparing for EY India
How should I prepare for EY India?
Choose your service line first, then strengthen its fundamentals and practise structured problem solving. Prepare examples showing teamwork, integrity and learning.
Does preparation differ by service line?
Yes. Audit, tax, transactions and technology consulting need different technical depth, so a generic consulting approach is less effective than a targeted one.
Is AI knowledge useful for non-technology roles?
Increasingly yes. With AI built into audit and advisory tools, showing sensible and careful use of it helps in almost every service line.
