I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Cisco (Mysore) in Jan 2011
Interview
The interview happened on campus as I was a fresher at that time. The whole process was very smooth with 1 aptitude round followed by 3 technical rounds and 1 HR round to finish it off. The interviewers were very helpful.
