I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at ZS Associates (Evanston, IL) in Jan 2013
Interview
At first I got an email from HR asking me to set up a phone interview. It was very simple and quick, basically just a little about myself and learning about the position. About a month later, they contacted me to set up a follow up phone interview. This was about an hour, split into two parts, a half hour case study (They emailed the materials for it at the start of the interview) and a half hour behavioral portion. A month after that I got a phone call from HR saying that they decided to not hire at all for the position after all.

Question 1
In what ways have you made a process more efficient/streamlined?
I applied through college or university. I interviewed at ZS Associates (Gurgaon, Haryana) in Feb 2012
Interview
Its fairly simple. But the selection process is bizarre. I have no idea as to how they evaluate a profile. My interview was simple. Consisted of 2 technical rounds and 2 HR rounds. You go there. They make you sit for a lifetime. Then when the time comes, make you sit in a conference room. Give an estimation or a database related question. Its very easy and sometkmes people make it difficult for themselves. Then they call each one of you for the hr round. this HR then shoots questions at you based on the previous technical round. Hw evaluates you and the process by which you solved the question. The theres another technical round where they give an estimation question. Mine was that suppose you're getting married within 2 days. List down the activities involved. Then he'll ask to prioritize all the actuvities and ask which 3 are the most important. Then some more questions related ro the estimation. Then finally to check your attitude toward the job he'll throw some random questions at you. I did extremely well in my interview and somehow i did not get the job. Si again the selection process remains unknown. Best of luck!

Question 1
The questions asked to me were fairly easy. But a friend of mine got an interesting one. That you are given 4 identical tablets. Of which 2 are for cold and 2 for headache. 100mg each. All the tablets look the same. You have a patient and you have to provide him with the medicine. You must give him one tablet for cold and one for headache. But you do not know which one is for cold and which one for the headache. So how will you give it to him. If he has more than 100mg of a specific medicine he'll die.
