I applied through college or university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Cognizant (Dehradun) in Oct 2016
Interview
First it was a test set by AMCAT, then if you clear it you have to face a technical interview and finally HR interview. In technical interview, the interviewer was more likely to look on the skills where you are strong want to know about that.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Mostly questions from your project work and the technology you have learnt.
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.
I applied through other source. I interviewed at Cognizant (Pune) in May 2026
Interview
Interview process was straight forward. Two technical Interview L1 and L2 rounds happened. L1 was easy with basic java questions. But L2 was the actual interview. They were asking every concept very deeply.
