I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at IGATE (Chandigarh) in Dec 2011
Interview
It was campus recruitment, with a aptitude test first and the technical round followed by HR interview. The process was smooth and all the recruiters were good. The questions asked were fair enough and they tried to keep the interview in a jovial mood throughout. The technical questions were not very difficult, mostly were looking for basic understanding of concepts.
