I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Cognizant (Bengaluru) in May 2018
Interview
I applied on-line through AMCAT website. First there will be an on-line test. It consist of Apptitude, Logical reasoning, Verbal and two programming questions (these programming questions will be quite hard). Once if you cleared the online exam you will be called on-site for further process. There you will attend technical HR - this will be entirely based on your resume so know well what you have given in your resume. If you are selected in your T.HR you will have an HR round. This will be like normal HR rounds (nothing technical). Then if you are selected in that you will get your call letter thro mail by two weeks.
