I applied through college or university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at EY (Mumbai) in Oct 2014
Interview
I was called by the Senior Manager, who took my Interview. I had 3 rounds of interviews and a case study. The first interview was HR round, which was a normal introduction. The second round was done by a senior consultant, which was intense as a couple of technical questions were asked. The third round was taken by the senior manager where a case study was given and had to give a solution for that. The whole process took 2 days. Luckily they reverted back, as I previously had an experience with them where I had applied in the Actuaries department and they did not revert back.

Two steps, starting with a written test, continuing to a case presentation interview. The interview mainly discussed the case, followed by questions closer to a behavioral interview. The interview required quick thinking and insight gathering due to short time allowed for case preparation.
The process was relatively straightforward and moved quickly (total time was less than 2 weeks). It consisted of:
(1) Online application - submitting CV, cover letter etc. via the career portal
(2) Online assessment - takes about 1 hour, some quantitative questions, questions about behaviours etc.
(3) Phone call with recruiter
(4) In-person interview - less "formal", more conversational
