I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Jane Street in Nov 2015
Interview
I applied through my university's career fair by giving them my resume, and received an email within a week from a recruiter asking for an interview. My interview was postponed last minute (i.e. 5 minutes after it was supposed to have started) because they were apparently really busy that day. I was told this by a different recruiter, neither of whom interviewed me. My interview was with a trader. He asked me a bunch of hard mental maths and probability questions, but I messed up due to rust.

Initial application and online assessment. Had a first round behavioral interview where they asked me about myself, my experiences, and a couple of brain teasers. The interviewer was very nice.
Phone interviews (at least 3) - questions were of mixed difficulty (some pretty hard) but the interviewers were friendly and they gave helpful hints. Kind of fun - review probability and game-type questions.
