The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Cognizant in Sep 2011
Interview
there was a filtering test prior to the interview. the test focused on communication skills, aptitude, etc. just refer previous question papers of CTS before ur interview date to get an idea of the topics they focus on. the apti was comparatively easier than the communication skills part (comm skills part was time consuming). once passed through this test, it's interview. interviewer may question u based on the info provided in ur resume. be clear with what u put in there. n last of all, confidence is the key.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
list the subjects that you'd learnt since first semester till the current one. list them semester-wise.
Very easy fireside chat. No technical interview. For clients mostly simple coding: reverse a string, anagram, impl linked list, basic sql query etc for associates. For sr and manager it may be more advanced.
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.
3 rounds of interviews with a technical interview. The technical interview involved questions on Java and sql. They were mildly difficult. The first 2 rounds were not so difficult, lots of situational judgement questions
