I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at CGI (Bengaluru) in Oct 2011
Interview
Interview for freshers is not a difficult thing to crack. One must require a certification in any technology(esp. .net, Java or testing) as CGI doesn't give any training to freshers. It is expected to know basics as after joining, you will be pushed into project.
No behavioural question, just one live technical assignment on call. Asked to code something. After I was done, we discussed the work and my code. No other question was asked.
The interview process was straightforward and went well overall. It consisted of about four interview rounds, with each stage focusing on different skills, experience, and overall fit for the role. I did have a recruiter.
I applied through college or university. I interviewed at CGI
Interview
I attended through campus recruitment. The process started with an aptitude round, followed by a group discussion. After that, there was a technical interview focused on system design concepts and project-related questions. The final round was HR, covering basic behavioral questions and overall fit.
