I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Google (Hyderabad) in Jun 2010
Interview
The interview process took 30 days in total and consisted of a written test as the initial stage of recruiting. The test was basically on logical, analytical and english grammar skills. After this interview, the next step was a telephonic interview and this interview tested again on logical and analytical abilities along with speaking skills. Basically they will make you talk and talk. They were very friendly and yo would feel very comfortable with them. No panic mode.

Interview
Google HR executives came to my college campus in Chennai and made a presentation followed by an evaluation test. Almost 1 month after the test 10 out above 200 students who wrote the test was called for an interview.
The first interview was telephonic and it was a peer interview, he went through my profile. Popped some analytical questions. The second interview was through google video chat, it was by HR team. Almost same routine followed as in initial interview in HR interview and final Manager's interview. Obviously difficulty level kept on increasing.
I learned that many were eliminated post telephonic interview and in final leg only me and a classmate was left.
