Interviewed Apr 2011 in Chennai (India) (took a day)
I applied to Web analytics division of CTS Chennai through an employee of Cognizant. I was called for the interview along with my resume. They asked me why did I choose the web analytics division when I was from Civil engineering. They have seen my previous web analytics related works. And some related technical questions were asked. They asked to present a presentation on the analysis of couple of websites to test my analytical and presentation skills. I was interviewed by Asst. Manager - Projects and Associate-Projects. The interview consisted both HR and Tech questions. Both of them were friendly.

Interviewed Apr 2011 in Bangalore (India) (took 1 week)
I went for an sheduled interview and selected in Technical Interview. Then next HR round happens. After 2 days they asked me to send all scanned documents of Academics and Past experiences. So I was expecting offer letter. But again I got a regret letter from HR saying my profile was not suitable for their position. Belive me the problem might be due to CTC not for any reason.
