I applied through college or university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at GE Vernova (Mangalore) in Sep 2018
Interview
An online Multiple choice question with both technical and aptitude questions was conducted 1 week before the interview. There was one to one interview for each candidate. No group discussion round was there since the number of students were less. Technical interview was the first. It was conducted by an engineer from Turbine division. Those who got selected were having an HR round in which the personality and interest of the candidate was evaluated.

The process took 1 day. I interviewed at GE Vernova (Wilmington, NC) in Jul 2011
Interview
Consisted of 2 panel interviews, one conducted by HR another conducted by a group of engineers. Mainly personality questions but there were some technical aspects to the interview. Whole process took about half the day. I was interviewd with about 10 other people. All of us were GE interns. So some screeening had been done already. I would say its critical to get an internship with the division you are interested in to imporve your chances of securing a FT offer.
