I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley (Mumbai) in Sep 2018
Interview
I applied through a recruitment agency. The drive was conducted on a Saturday. There were quite a number of people who came to the drive. They grouped us on basis of Technology.
The first round was a written test which consisted of total 14 questions. 10 multiple choice questions, 2 programming questions and 2 sql queries questions.
Multiple choice questions were easy. Programming questions were difficult and sql queries questions were easy too.
I cleared the written test. Then began the second round. I could not clear the second round. The questions were difficult in second round and you need to write down code for everything that you say.

Interview
3 rounds, One online screening, then One in person interview where I was asked one medium level dsa question with whiteboarding, then there was another Online interview. The Final online interview was not that good since they were asking more about java language than the actual job, problem solving etc.
