I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Cognizant (Dehradun) in Sept 2021
Interview
The interview process was very smooth and the interviewer himself was very patient and humble.
Being from a non-CS-IT background they didn't ask much about programming rather checked my aptitude, thinking and problem-solving ability, and communication skills.
Overall it was a wonderful experience.
