I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at BNP Paribas (Mumbai) in Sept 2016
Interview
It was a pool campus internship interview. There were 1-2-3 tech/managerial rounds(varied from person to person) after the aptitude test.
1st Round was a basic aptitude test with 3 sections (verbal, logical, maths) with 60 questions for 60 minutes (20 minutes per section). No negative marking. No sectional cutoff. Difficulty level was easy for verbal and logical . Moderate for maths. I would suggest starting with logical first then verbal and then maths. Attempt all.
2nd Round was a technical round. Lasted for around half and hour. Questions are listed below. Difficulty level was moderate.
3rd Round was a technical/managerial round with a bunch of common HR questions thrown in (tell me about yourself,describe projects, why this company, why do you think you are fit for this job,..).along with 2 puzzles (a jug puzzle, bacteria in a petri dish doubling every day puzzle) and 2-3 common tech questions. Difficulty level was easy.
3rd Round was technical/HR round(same questions related to projects, common HR questions, technical subjects taught in college, favourite tech subject, desired profile(application developer, maintenance, testing), hobbies). Difficulty level was moderate.

(I was probably the only one who had 3 tech rounds. I think I performed pretty well in all of those rounds. Some people had just 1 "almost" tech round with hardly any tech questions popped. Some had 2 tech rounds. However even after 3 super-awesome tech rounds and a cool aptitude test I didn't get selected.)
What my fellow classmates(some with 1-2 "tech"/HR rounds) were asked:
* Did you have lunch?(got selected)
* Are you gonna interview at other companies after this?(said a yes! - got selected)
