I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Cognizant (Coimbatore) in Sep 2015
Interview
It was three rounds, aptitude exam, technical interview and then HR interview. Aptitude exam is pretty easy, in technical interview they test a little programming skill, and then about the work that you have done previously(listed on resume), and at HR they get to know the type of person you are outside of your resume
The interview focused heavily on my projects, asking about design decisions, challenges, and real-world use cases. I had to explain my thought process clearly. It was a practical and insightful experience that tested genuine understanding.
4 rounds before the interview which inckuded - 2 oa - 1st aptitude ,2nd technical, then 3rd coding round then voice assesment after clearing all these i got selected for interview , then hr then for a formality there was a bot interview in which i faced technical error and i got rejected after clearing 5-6 rounds they reject my application my efforts because of the system error
