I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Cognizant (Hyderābād) in Jan 2015
Interview
the interviewer was very friendly and he asked very basic questions that anybody can answer. I have cleared the round and after that hr interview. they will check confidence levels and that's it.
Introduction

2 Coding Questions

Question on Java and SQL Spring Boot and Other programing related questions like hashing map vs hash table why they are used
It was three round interview with written test and 2 easy interviews. One technical and one with HR for compensation discussion. All were conducted on the same day. In order to get selected need to stand out and answer uniquely.
