I had interview with the nicest people and they care about your mentality and values. Since this internship is geared towards 1st and 2nd year students, they only expect you know the basic of computer science. They want to learn about your problem solving skills.
I applied through college or university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Microsoft (Bombay) in Feb 2026
