I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at JLR (Coventry, Engeland) in Aug 2015
Interview
First you apply online and do tests. Then you are invited to an assessment centre.
In mine we did a group task where we have to share information and come to a decision within an hour. Then you have a 1-1 interview with a senior manager which will last quite a while. One to one mock role play where you get 15 mins to calculate procurement cost from a sheet of data then you will be facing a client for a procurement negotiation.

I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at JLR (Royal Leamington Spa, England) in Feb 2016
Interview
Application deadline was 31st december, i applied 27th december.
After the application form, I recieved an invitation to take online tests - same as other employer tests fairly straightforward.
Then, I did not hear back for the next stage until February. People chosen for the assessment centre was by the best UCAS points as well as online test scores.
The assessment centre was pretty short, about 4 hours, consisting of a 45 minute long interview, a group exercise and a in-tray exercise.
Group exercise was easy, working as a team to figure out the best option to solve a problem on the production line. Its important to argue the role you are given and give advantages and disadvantages of the different solutions.
The in tray exercise is not something you can prepare for. I literaly finished it as the time finished, it really is all about speed. You get instructions on the day detailing how to answer and stuff...
The interview was not as daunting as 45 minutes sounds. It went really quickly. I got asked i think around 5 or 6 questions. Most competency based, and then one or 2 about the company itself and the industry. So do some research the night before to prepare!
I got a call the next morning offering me a graduate role.
Good luck :)
