I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Cognizant (Pune) in Sept 2017
Interview
Do not attend the interview which are scheduled on Saturday's. Complete waste of time. They would call hundreds of people just to showcase rather show off their brand. I reached the venue at 9.30 AM. (Scheduled time according to email from recruitment HR) Had to wait outside campus for one hour. Then they started allowing people in batches. Then after long wait of 4 hours first technical round was conducted. Interview questions were good and interviewer had sound knowledge. After waiting for another 3 hours there was managerial round which lasted for half an hour. Then again from among 100-140 people 10 of us were made to wait for HR round. Again after long wait of 2 hours HR who I think were working on weekend 1 day contract were made to discuss salary and joining formalities. After all this when I did not get any response for about 10 days I dropped an email to HR but she had no courtesy to respond. Don't go for Saturday interviews they are fake.
