I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Cognizant in Oct 2013
Interview
Student who had 75+% throughout their academic career selected directly for personal Interview
others gave online test consist of Technical+Logical+Aptitude test
1. First round -online test(for me ).
2.second round -Technical round
Interviewer asked question from resume only.
basic c/c++ and little bit from published papers,Database /PLSql etc
Very easy fireside chat. No technical interview. For clients mostly simple coding: reverse a string, anagram, impl linked list, basic sql query etc for associates. For sr and manager it may be more advanced.
The interview was primarily technical, concentrating on C#, .NET, SQL, and API concepts. Questions tested understanding of core principles and practical application. The process was straightforward, professional, and focused on technical depth.
I applied online and got a calll back, had 4 rounds in total. first was a behavioral phone call just casual talks about your skills and when can you start working and general questions, then two coding rounds in hackerrank - was asked to code in java although the job was for python and finally HR.
I applied through other source. I interviewed at Cognizant (Pune) in May 2026
Interview
Interview process was straight forward. Two technical Interview L1 and L2 rounds happened. L1 was easy with basic java questions. But L2 was the actual interview. They were asking every concept very deeply.
