I applied through university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Bain & Company (Gurgaon, Haryana) in Dec 2011
Interview
I got the interview through Campus Recruitment. The selection was a 4 step process:
1. CV Submission and Shortlisting: They looked at a balance between academic prowess and extra curricular achievements, the cover letter should reflect the same.
Bain & Co. are extremely helpful throughout the process, they're eager to answer your questions and guide you. They even conducted case workshops and an interview guide.
2. Written Round: Data Interpretation (Reading graphs and assigning tags, etc. Mostly multiple choice) and arrangement of slides in a logical coherent order and writing out an executive summary.
3. 1:1 Interviews: Two interviews of guess estimations. The interviewers were nice, though one seemed kinda mean and disinterested.
4. Final Round: Panel Interview with 6 Senior Analysts, consisting of Case Interviews

Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Estimate the annual revenues of a restaurant in London.
Had guestimation and case study round. Both the rounds were quite easy. Interviewer was chill. Questions were asked based on Microsoft apps like word, excel. Other quality based questions were also asked. This is for internship role
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Bain & Company (Los Angeles, CA)
Interview
2 rounds, 1 round only case B2B 30 minute with different people. Applied by a referral. Great experience I just wasn't up to par on my case interview prep. Needed to practice more.
