I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Microsoft (Coimbatore) in Aug 2014
Interview
There was a coding test, followed by a technical interview. The coding test consisted of some aptitude-style questions and a couple of programming problems. Those who performed well in the coding test were allowed to sit for the technical interview. To me, it seemed as though the process was good overall, but I had the bad luck to sit with a poor interviewer. He seemed to expect only a particular answer and rejected other answers.
