I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Cognizant (Chennai) in Jan 2010
Interview
it is very easy process. Interview process is really simple as it has only few rounds in it. For me it started with written exam followed by an interview which is combination of HR interview and Technical interview.
Two interviews with coding test and and aptitute test , pretty easy , aske about projects done and java oops questions also sql question , position was full stack developer
We had many rounds like 3 rounds before interview and interview was quite good. I got selected into cognizant as and programmer analyst trainee. I did not focus much on java, so due to that i Got 4 lpa
They asked very basic questions of reversing a string java basics and sql introduction and asked some data structures concepts finally few hr questions so on finally interviewer looks very strict interview got rejected
