I applied through college or university. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Barclays (Noida) in Oct 2013
Interview
It was a pooled campus process. It started with a short list based on CVs and three essay type questions based on banking sector. Second stage was aptitude test like CAT. Further shorlisted students went for group task and presentation round. Final shortlisted proceeded to PI round.

Question 1
They asked some network layer questions, some http error questions
Was a lot like my other interviews for other grad roles, practice answering basic questions I would say is key and try your best! Interviewer was good at his job but found it hard to communicate certain questions
The interview process was very quick and communications prior to the assessment day very poor - the link to the video call for candidates didn't work. However on the day the interviewers were engaging and seemed to care and enjoy their jobs and wanted the best from the interview.
