I applied through college or university. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Amazon (Chennai) in Nov 2024
Interview
The SDE Intern had an online coding test with two DSA questions and 40 mins of scenario-based behavioral questions (choose best which is you). The technical interview (45–60 mins) included two coding problems where interviewer emphasized optimal solutions (e.g., binary search over hashmaps) and clear explanations of approach, complexity, and edge cases. Each round was eliminatory.

Question 1
Directly Coding Optimal approaches without even Self-intro, The two were, first character of repetitive letters in a word and something similar to count occurrences in a sorted array
shortlisting, then oa on 2 coding questions and behavioural questions, then 2 rounds of technical interviews. Most of the questions included dsa , have to tell bruteforce, optimal along with time nd space complexities
Had one virtual interview with an engineer. Prior to that, there was a online assessment with a leadership assessment (behavioral). Process was smooth. Heard back within reasonable time (1-2 weeks).
