How does direct hiring at MBB and other consulting firms work for let's say an Associate's profile?
I mean do they mostly hire straight from campuses?
Someone told me you need 2-3 YoE in consulting to get considered for a direct hiring interview. True?

Without an MBA is 99% from campus. With an MBA I would say lateral recruiting is higher but definitely not super high either.

That's what I observed. In case of undergrads usually hiring is done on campus. That too only from tier 1 undergrad colleges.

Would you mind telling whether you are in your current role post undergraduate or post MBA?
And how much is your total workex (pre MBA+post MBA) in case you have done your MBA?

Thanks for asking.
I am an undergrad. As a matter of fact I graduated in 2020 itself but luckily was hired back in March'20 as an intern and made permanent in 3 months. So I'll have 1 YoE in June and that's when I plan on switching to consulting.
But considering I am an average kid from a not so prestigious college of DU, I am trying to search and exploit every possible chance I have.

Yep this sounds right for lateral hiring. Typically seen it happen from other consulting firms.

I have a question around the similar lines. I have 1.5 years of work experience post MBA, how can I switch into consulting?

Hate to say it, but depends on where you did your MBA from. Ask a friend at these firms to refer you for lateral hiring, if they are currently looking.
