I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Microsoft (Hyderābād) in Jan 2010
Interview
Microsoft IT, Hyderabad came on my college campus providing internship to selected students. A quick elimination in written test was followed by 4 rounds of interview ( 3 tech + 1 hr).
Interview for college students is not herculean hard. Stick to basics - data structures, OS, OOP, databases. Be sure that you know A-Z of everything you mentioned on your resume.
I did get selected as an intern for 8 weeks at MS IT, Hyd. The work culture is awesome, with all the perks you can wish for including pool tables, tt, free beverages and such. The people of team that I joined were supportive and the work cut out for me was definitive. So just worry on how to get there, and not on what will you do once you are there.
Interview questions [5]
Question 1
You have a machine that can create anything. You just have to specify the details, and voila, it will give you the output. Design test cases for such a machine

Problem of concurrent transactions done by two persons of a joint account at two different ATM Machines. How is it managed without introducing any inconsistency in balance of the account holders?
The entire process only had two rounds and it was really simple. Each round was around 45 minutes to an hour with a current Microsoft engineer and they just ask you a typical leetcode style question. There was also a behavioral round that was really simple.
