I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Microsoft in Aug 2021
Interview
This was done through the campus placement cell.
The first round was a shortlisting test based on SQL, ML knowledge and CV shortlisting.
There were 3 Technical Interviews from, an hour long each.
Each checked your proficiency and comfort around different ML algorithms along with your analytical ability to leverage different models to find creative solutions.
Had a coding round which was Leetcode based questions and many people failed in the first round. It was on-campus drive and only one person made to final round. He went through technical interview, HR interview and landed the job.
