I applied through university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Cognizant in Nov 2014
Interview
It was a campus interview and the process took two days. First day we had an aptitude round. The difficulty level was easy-medium. The results were declared in the eve and the selected candidates had to appear for the technical interview the next day. Questions were asked from all the basic areas of IT. Then the selected candidates had a HR round where we had to sign a form stating any location of placement is accepted by us.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Having done a project is a plus. Most of them were asked to explain about their project
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
