I applied through university. I interviewed at Microsoft
Interview
On-campus opportunity.
1st round: OA. There were 2 questions. For boys, you had to solve both questions. For girls, one was enough.
2nd round: Online interview:
Introduction and some standard DSA questions. One was easy and the other was a medium leetcode question. Some questions on OOPS, OS, and DBMS.
Unfortunately, I panicked as it was my first interview, and I couldn't do good. I even had many problems with the microphone and connectivity. ( Faced Rejection)
Make sure everything(Laptop, microphone, headset, connectivity) is working well before your interview.

It was very light and medium paced. Started with intro, moved to resume based questions then DSA and then fundamentals. The guy taking my interview was very chill and supportive.
