The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Cognizant (Calcutta) in Jan 2010

First I had to go through a selection process which included of written tests in IQ, maths and English. After clearing the 3 tests I was interviewed 1:1, and was asked varied questions ranging from my academics to my family and hobbies. Interview part was a little bit tough I must say.
