I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Cognizant (Calcutta) in Oct 2013
Interview
Interview was fair, medium level of difficulty. Interviewer was mainly checking the communication skill and willingness to work hard. Knowledge of the core subjects of majors( In my case Java, C, C++ since I am Computer Science engineer)
Two interviews with coding test and and aptitute test , pretty easy , aske about projects done and java oops questions also sql question , position was full stack developer
We had many rounds like 3 rounds before interview and interview was quite good. I got selected into cognizant as and programmer analyst trainee. I did not focus much on java, so due to that i Got 4 lpa
They asked very basic questions of reversing a string java basics and sql introduction and asked some data structures concepts finally few hr questions so on finally interviewer looks very strict interview got rejected
