I applied through university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Bain & Company (Calcutta) in Nov 2015
Interview
It was a campus based recruitment process, where Bain comes in for the career fair and applicants can submit their CVs. After few days, shortlisted candidates get a call and are allotted a buddy to get a better understanding of the firm. After some format interactions with the partners, the candidates further shortlisted for case interviews get calls and the interview process begins.

First - a Fit interview with Partner, which supposed to be followed by Case Study Inetrview, but I unexpectedly faced a standard Gorilla test, the results of which HR refuse to share

Question 1
Are you ready to subordinate to a manager that is younger than you?
Good interview process. Response was quick and was able to hear back on the outcome in a couple of days after the interview. 3 stags overall including the initial HR screening followed by a case study.
Case interviews in both Japanese and English. Case interviews were more like Fermi estimations for market size/customer size rather than formal business-structured case interviews. Brief introductions at the beginning, but generally not too focused on socialization.
