I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Microsoft (Chennai) in Oct 2014
Interview
Applied through college. We had an aptitude test. Then the next round was a group discussion we were given a topic to discuss about. Finally the interview it consisted of some technical questions as well as some general questions. The interviewers were quite friendly. It was a good experience on the whole.
There are two rounds of interviews. The first I did at school. Had I gotten to the second round, I would have been flown to Seattle for an interview. They asked a lot about previous programming projects I had done and how I would change various aspects of them to do different things.

I had a programming question about sorting balls to find the lightest or heaviest one. Blanked on using a base case which really hurt my chances.
