CTS has two rounds of interviews- first technical and then HR. In the technical round they ask questions from your resume, basic C, basic Java concepts, simple puzzles and questions on the projects that you've mentioned in your resume. HR round is basically to test your communication skills.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The interviewer gave me a pattern of strings, each with a yes/no output. He asked me to identify the pattern and code it.
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.
