I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at EY (Kolkata) in Sep 2011
Interview
A written test followed by an interview. There was one interviewer. Interview was divided into two parts 1. Competency based questions and 2. Technical questions. Competency questions were only from CV i.e. describe your hobby, why this college etc. Technical questions were more in depth on practical applications of AS and income tax act

Comprehensive interview process that rewards quick thinking and creative ideas. You will meet with many different people at different levels who will ask everything from your academic course of study to case interview questions.
