I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Microsoft (Bangalore Rural)
Interview
Focus on DSA and time. Solving quickly is important. The DSA questions weren't too hard. One probability and one DP. Shortlisting was mainly on the basis of time. Getting both questions but being slow did not get an offer.
Nice interviewers, questions were a leetcode easy/medium. Had two back to back interviews. One asked an overall systems question, one asked a leetcode problem. Not a super tough interview, but you definitely need to know your stuff.

Needed to talk about myself and introduce myself to each person as they do not talk with each other between interviews about the interviewee, which i appreciate.
Overall nice experience, very nice people
