I applied in-person. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Gurgaon, Haryana) in Mar 2014
Interview
8 rounds, same management questions, make sure you are clear on the basics and that's it!!
Technical round goes on, depending if you are answering or not. They drill down until you stop answering and approach is more important than solution to them.
The interview process consisted of 3 rounds, 2 technical, 1 Managerial round. Technical rounds focused on what you have mentioned in the resume, so be well prepared for it. Technical round was bit tough.
