I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Tata Consultancy Services (Haiderabad) in Sep 2011
Interview
The interview was conducted in a relaxed manner. The HR was very a very calm and composed guy and he made me feel the same. He started by briefly reviewing my certificates and grades. I was asked about the extra curricular activities mentioned on my certificates. After that he inquired about two of my favourite subjects in engineering. He just asked me basic questions about the same and what I understood about the fundamentals.
Then he proceeded to ask me some questions of C and a few basics of C++ concepts. I was not asked any programs but others were asked about programs. It is advisable to read programs upto for loop.
The final part of the interview was about some nonsensical quantitative aptitude and reasoning questions. Nonsensical because the answers could not be derived mathematically but by tricks, sleight of hand or jumbling numbers. Candidates are advised not to loose focus during such absurd situations but keep smiling try your to work out and you may have any answer. Even if it is wrong you must be able to describe how you arrived at it, your thought process and why you think its right. This part of mine went quite coolly and the interviewer even laughed when I was trying to explain it him. Of course I joined in his laughter as well. But don't do it loudly, speak out of turn and say something you don't understand, or you will fall in trouble when he probes a bit deeply.
You may also ask some questions about the job and company if he allows.
