I applied through college or university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Cognizant (Mohali, Punjab) in Sep 2016
Interview
I applied through college.
First round was an online test: Aptitude(Quant, logical, English) and Programming(MCQs on C,C++, DBMS) and psychometric test.
I cleared the test and was selected for next. i.e Technical Interview.
They asked basic questions about C or C++ or Java(depending upon what you tell them) and SQL queries. This was easy round.
3Rd round was HR interview. It was also an easy round. They asked Basic questions only. Most of the students who reached HR round were selected.
I applied online. I interviewed at Cognizant (Chennai) in Jun 2026
Interview
only one round of technical interview for senior position, and hr execution was not proper, they didn;t connect when needed and no proper negotiation of salary either since shortlisting for interview
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.
