The other thread http://www.pprune.org/south-asia-far...ssment-gd.html has a lot of information about the process.
Written
It had 5 different tests each lasted around 45 minutes if i remember correctly. And there was a break of 15 minutes between tests. There were 3 Aptitude Test papers and 2 Aviation Knowledge based. The 1st aptitude test had IQ based questions.The 2nd had Multiple Answer questions which were based on imagining and folding 2-D figures to make 3-D figures and then choose the correct options.Many people messed up in this one as they thought only 1 option was correct.The 3rd paper was kind of testing English where statements were given and matching option was to be chosen.The 2 Aviation based tests had 40% of technical questions based on Aerodynmics and other basic technical subject and 40% Navigation and 20% comprised of Met,Regs and 1-2 questions on Jet engine.
Group Discussion
There were 5 rounds again in this one.You were divided in teams(4 guys each team) and then each round you had 2 teams i.e., 8 guys sitting together and doing the discussion. The topics were all based on Aviation except one round . They had a debate for sure everyday. I had it on Fly by wire. Then they had one non aviation round based on Survival in case of Air crash in Mountains/Desert/island, and you were given a list of items and you had to decide and conclude that what priority will you give to each item.Then one round was on Air crash. Where you were given and Air crash report and you had to discuss and decide what caused the Air Crash.
Interview
They asked questions mainly from Technical and Performance part and a few personal questions.The panel had 3 pilots and 1 HR manager.
IPT
They make you do it on a Fixed Base Simulator or FTD for B737-400. Generally you are asked to fly VOR approaches,holdings,published missed approach and radial intercepts . All on VOR itself. No NDBs . Very few were asked to fly ILS approach. The examiner makes you read the approach plate briefing and fly at the same time.Not to worry about how to fly a 737. Everything is on Auto Pilot. You just need to change the heading and course knobs and let your examiner know about what altitude you want and he may ask you sometimes the ROD you want. You need to have RMI knowledge so practice that. Practice on Chennai,Mumbai,Ahmedabad,Delhi for sure.
That's all i can recall right now. Will update if i remember anything later.
All the best guys!!

Pardon my random question (perhaps out of place), but what makes Jet Airways a more attractive place than Kingfisher, Spicejet, Indigo, etc. if (and a big IF) you had multiple opportunities? Just curious as to why someone would be specifically interested in Jet Airways vs. others (pros and cons).
Thanks for any insights.

@ Mike Sierra
There will be a few questions based on engines so be prepared for the same.
For the rest of you...
You can practice Aptitude and IQ test online such as 'Lumosity' and
also there a numerous free applications on face book...
Here are a few that i use on face book
Brain Buddies
Ultimate IQ
For multi tasking test use this
Play Multitask, a free online game on Kongregate
For all the above tests dont be disheartened if you dont do good at first as it takes some time to get used to it and keep practicing
