I applied through college or university. I interviewed at IDEA Cellular (Bengaluru) in Jan 2016
Interview
The return test contains 3 parts . 1. aptitude 2. technical 3. technical-2. Technical will be difficult.
The the process is followed by presentation and a group discussion . This is where the partiality starts. They will take 9 members for GD and they will shortlist 4 members from that . 2 girls and 2 boys. If only 2 girls sit for GD then irrespective of how they talk they will be shortlisted to interviews. Boys need to be very much talkative, they mainly observe English ( should be very good) not your technical skills. Interview is combo or HR and tech where they ask some crazy and stupid question and bare with them. At the end they will take equal no of girls and boys.
They dont want technical skills as per the procedure, even though you fake them with some lengthy and wrong answers you will be selected. Very unfair selection process. Location : beware it may be anywhere in India.

Interview
It was an on-campus placement process. They conducted an online exam comprising of aptitude and technical sections. Overall difficulty level of the exam was medium. 36 students where shortlisted from the exam and were divided into 4 groups for group discussions. Group discussion topics was Incredible India or Intolerant India. 13 students were selected for personal interviews. First part of the interview was mainly on HR questions like "Tell me about yourself, your hobbies etc". The second part was on technical knowledge. Questions were asked from basics of Analog, communication systems, Antenna, Microprocessor. Questions were tricky and they kept on asking questions one after another before you could finish your answer. Their aim was to test the patience and confidence level of the student. Overall experience was not good and ended up demoralized.
