I applied through university. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley (Pune) in Sept 2013
Interview
They took a written test which consisted of two papers.Paper 1 had 2 sections-computer fundamentals and aptitude.Paper 2 had technical questions based on C/C++/Java.we could choose any of them.The aptitude cum technical test was good and had standard questions which were moderately difficult.The time duration was 90 minutes.
After the written test,4 students were selected me being one of them.The next process was a pool one i.e students from various colleges had come together for further processes.
The next step was a technical test.In this,shortlisted students were given 5 programming questions which had to be solved on paper in any comfortable programming language.I chose 'C'. The duration of the test was 1 hour.It was not an elimination round.
The technical test was followed by a technical interview which everyone had to face.We were asked to explain the codes we had written and and there was a discussion with the interviewer on any favorite subject of the candidate.After this round,few people were shortlisted.Then,they had an another technical interview,a group activity and an HR interview.

General questions about the line of business and common questions about how you would assume their teams handle certain situations. Mainly on behavioral side but also technical can be included.
