Interviewed Dec 2010 in Kolkata (India) (took 2 days)
First of all there was a presentation regarding Company Profile. Then an IQ test as well as technical skills test was conducted. Based on the performance in these two sections candidates were shortlisted for a personal interview.
The Personal Interview was of 30 minutes.Questions were asked from Technical and HR sections.More emphasis were given on the HR part. Most of the questions in HR were regarding Leadership skills and Team work.
I am just glad that I managed to perform to the best of my ability and finally got selected for the Job.
A memory which will probably last till i live since it was my first P.I

Interviewed Jan 2012 in Hyderabad (India) (took 6 days)
First there was an easy aptitude test in ANURAG GROUP OF INSTITUTIONS (Formerly CVSR College of Engineering) On Jan 7 it only had English, Reasoning , Sequences and figure based questions... it was very easy... arround 3000 people wrote exam and 600 ppl are shortlisted... I was shortlisted and I've got the Interview invite same day night.
Then Second and Third round was in VBIT Auditorium, Vanenburg IT Park, # 17, Software Units Layout, Madhapur Hyderabad. They have divided shortlisted people into two groups and interviewed on two different days 9'th Jan and 12'th Jan. I was called on 9'th Jan. Ar round 300 people attended interview that day.
Second Round was a Technical Interview. The interview lasted for 35-40 minutes and they asked core concepts in C,C++, Java and asked to write program coding.As my project was of .NET platform interviewer asked me questions about that too.. It was more of Technical+HR type of interview and was very tough unless one is sound with his technical and verbal skills he and get through it.... I was very confident that i would get shortlisted because the way i attempted interview i was pretty sure that i would clear that.... results are announced immediately Out of 300 people 200 were dropped and 100 are sent to HR round... So Prepare well for that...
Third and final round was HR the easiest of all other rounds.. It was a Rapid fire and Film story telling round lasted for just couple of minutes... I attempted very well...
And Finally on Jan 16'th I've got the Offer Letter from Cognizant.... According to sources 100-150 are selected among 3000 people.. And i'm one of them....

Interviewed May 2009 in Chennai (India) (took 2 days)
There was a skills test on the first day and those who cleared the test were called for interview the next day. The interview was pretty straight forward. There weer two people in the panel that interviewed me. They asked me questions related to Data structures and algorithms, Operating Systems and DBMS. There were also a few competency questions like why do you want to join Cognizant. are you willing to relocate to any part of the world if given an offer etc.
