I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Cognizant (Dehradun) in Dec 2025
Interview
The interview began with a brief self-introduction. I was asked about the programming languages I use, where I mentioned C++ and Java. The interviewer then focused on Java and asked 3–4 basic coding questions on strings such as sorting characters, finding duplicate characters, reversing a string, and copying arrays. After that, questions were asked on constructors and different types of constructors with code for a parameterized constructor. The interview ended with questions on multithreading and writing basic multithreading code.
