I applied online. The process took 8 weeks. I interviewed at JLR (Royal Leamington Spa, England) in Feb 2016
Interview
Online application followed by online tests then straight to an assessment centre. Fewer steps than most graduate applications which is very nice, far less stressful. The online tests involved numerical reasoning and a diagrammtic test, and a test where you decide how you would respond in a work based situation. The assessment centre involved a group work exercise which lasts 50 minutes with 6 people, a multiple choice in-tray exercise and a 40 minute interview based on the 8 JLR behaviours.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What are the challenges JLR and the automotive industry are currently facing? How will these situations change over the next 5 years.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at JLR (London, England) in Nov 2021
Interview
first process is a virtual interview after the psychometric tests. you will be required to prepare a presentation of 4 slides to be submitted prior to the interview.
the final assessment is on site, basically to assess behavioral compatibility
in tray exercise with individual interview and a group exercise. the intray gave 10 example emails you have to respond to, lots of information and only a short time to complete so you must be quick and accurate, and must determine an outcome appropriate to the email.
individual interview asked the usual questions, do your research and think of what you would bring to the company.
group exercise was an individual brief for each person and then you must represent your POV, dont talk over people but make sure your point is heard, the usual. my scenario was launching a new car in a new market and deciding on what kind of car to launch, so research into what JLR actually do in new markets (cater for the market)
I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at JLR (Stratford-upon-Avon, England) in Mar 2017

Fairly standard pre interview process with psychometric tests and initial application form. Quite a long wait to hear if I got through to assessment centre round.
Assessment centre really well planned and executed, very friendly staff, 3 assessed events through the day 1)group exercise 2)in tray exercise 3)competency based interview.
