I applied through college or university. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Cognizant (Bengaluru) in Aug 2025
Interview
The first round was a communication round, where they tested our speaking and listening skills — it was quite easy. The second was the technical round, which included two coding questions (easy to medium level), two SQL questions, and one question based on HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, all to be completed within 120 minutes. The final round was a Technical and HR interview conducted via video conference, where the interviewer asked me to introduce myself, followed by one coding question, one SQL question, some OOPs concepts, and basic questions related to the programming language I work with (in my case, C#).
Interview questions [1]
