Dear Vivek,
Usually, HR provides very detailed information in the invitation email to the interviewers in terms of
- # of interviews
- length of each interview
- content of the interviews (Case, PEI, TEI, etc.)
If you have not received any of this information, give them a call to clarify as Ken suggested. Don't go blindly into the interviews.
Cheers,
Florian
All the best with your interviews!
Cheers,
Florian

Hi Vivek,
i agree with Ken here. I also am very concerned for you as if you don't know what to expect, and you have a day to prepare, how do you expect to be ready? I would highly recommend you postpone if you can.
That said, you should be prepared for any and all of the following:
- A case
- Fit + behavioral
- Brainstorming
- Market Sizing
- Deep-dive questions regarding Pharma + Healthcare Industry knowledge

Although you will likely get many coaches speculating from experience, it's best to ask the recruiter, especially if your interview is tomorrow!
