I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Citi (Singapore)
Interview
Phone interview. The interviewer was very patient with explaining the job description, to make sure that I really knew what I was applying for. Very candid and sincere response when I asked about the work culture and working hours. No technical qns asked, just qns about yourself and career aspirations. Why you want to work in the industry, what position (e.g. front/middle/back office) you'd want to pursue in the future, when you'll be graduating, etc. Very straightforward interview, as long as you know what you really want, and you're able to put it across clearly.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Really nothing difficult, just about your academic background and other achievements. Why you want to work in the bank/dept? What do you know about our operations?
1 interview, then openday with 3 interviews. First one quite easy, openday a bit intense with different questions and themes approached. Process lasted more than 2 months, however HR was quite helpful and responsive.

Question 1
Motivation, different types of derivative questions etc.
It was a really good interview process that I really liked and enjoyed doing. The first round was very casual and the questions werent challenging in the slightest. It felt low pressure or stress
They asked a mix of behavioral, technical and market questions. Pretty standard interview, no huge curveballs. There were a few brain teasers and mental math questions, no paper pen allowed.
