I applied through university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Microsoft (New Delhi) in Aug 2011
Interview
There was a written test in college which comprised of one objective test of 10 questions.
Then another written round which comprised of 2 questions - one programming and other to generate test cases.
After that there were three interview rounds. The first two were programming based.
In both the rounds, I was asked to code various algorithmic questions.
Focus was also on data structures - mainly linked list and trees
The third round was HR cum technical round. I was asked my favourite subject and asked questions on that
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I was given a very easy question in the second round. The interviewer said that you should already be knowing the answer to this as I have already asked this to a couple of guys before you. They would have already told you the answer. Knowing this he asked me to write the code.
I had not asked the answer from them. I did that question but did not know what he thought. He had the impression that I already know the answer by asking someone and still gave me the question.
The entire process only had two rounds and it was really simple. Each round was around 45 minutes to an hour with a current Microsoft engineer and they just ask you a typical leetcode style question. There was also a behavioral round that was really simple.

Question 1
The first round was a typically leetcode question that was really easy. The second round was a little bit harder. It was about having a nxn square made out of 0s and 1s and it wants you to compute what the square looks like if it was rotated.
