I applied through university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Cognizant in Oct 2025
Interview
On-campus hiring was a 2-stage process—
1. Online Assessment [Cluster Wise], where you need to solve questions related to your cluster
2. Technical Interview [Online], was a basic interview where questions were asked from SQL and cluster language
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.
3 rounds of interviews with a technical interview. The technical interview involved questions on Java and sql. They were mildly difficult. The first 2 rounds were not so difficult, lots of situational judgement questions
