I applied through college or university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Microsoft (Hyderābād) in Mar 2011
Interview
The first round was an written test. It consisted of 15 objective questions followed by 5 subjective questions.
The objective questions were based on the knowledge of C and Data Structures. The subjective questions consisted of a program, output determination, error finding and two questions related to Software Engineering.
After that the interview rounds were easy . there were two rounds and in both rounds they asked about data structures and algorithms. the last telephonic interview round was also quite easy about desining an algorithm for tic tac toe game. But , finally i didnt get the offer.
