I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Alcatel-Lucent (Bengaluru) in Oct 2013
Interview
Online round with 5 sections that had multiple choice questions from C, C++, Operating Systems, Networking and Aptitude.
Two technical interviews, one from a senior engineer and other from the team leader.
One HR interview.
If you have a decent background with Computers and good aptitude, then you can clear the first round.
Second round will be more focussed on your problem solving and programming abilities.
Third round will be more focussed on evaluating your knowledge or experience in the domain you will be hire for,
HR round is just for namesake and is a cakewalk.

Question 1
Questions on Microprocessor Traffic Signal problem, GSM and CDMA networks, Virtual functions, Templates, Friend functions, Reversing a string, Finding a palindrome and a few puzzles which were quite tough to solve.
The stress was on your approach to solve the problem than answering the problem. Also, he will ask you to optimize the code and will be impressed wven if you optimize it a little bit.
He also asked a few basic questions on Data structures. If you are from an Electronics background, then he will ask a lot of networking questions, So be prepared for that.
