I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at HSBC (Kharagpur, West Bengal) in Dec 2014
Interview
There were two technical rounds. First round was very basic and they asked regarding credit card and other bank product related information. Second round was advanced statistics which covered regression and probability distributions.
It was followed by simple HR round.
