So first there was a written quant test with 20 questions. Then we had a group discussion. After that, there were 2 interviews that were a mix of behavioral and logic questions. And then, depending on how we did in those 2 interviews, there might have been a 3rd round also.

Technical Case Group Behavioral
The interview process had a few rounds. First, there was an aptitude round with quantitative aptitude test, logical puzzles/reasoning questions, and a personality assessment test/picture synthesis. Second, a video synthesis round where you had to extrapolate info from videos, followed by a pseudo-coding round specific to your department (e.g., explaining how a refrigerator works for Mech Engg), and a case study solving round with actual MuSigma problems where you had to explain your approach. Third, a group discussion on generic topics and MuSigma specific questions like your opinion on their belief system. Fourth, a personal interview with futuristic reasoning questions like what you'd do with Netflix's entire database, expert level logical puzzles such as the 100 floors 2 eggs puzzle, and guesstimation problems like estimating the number of cows in Chennai.

The interview included a group discussion (GD) and then a second interview. It was conducted on campus. I'm not sure about the off-campus hiring process, but the company seems good for freshers. You can find the rest of the details on their website.
