      Application

      I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Cognizant (Mohali, Punjab) in Jul 2019

      Interview

      The process took one day, starting with the company presentation. The interaction was superb. All the questions were answered and I was clear that This was the company i wanted to join as they had a NO BOND structure. The presentation was followed by an online test, which was quite easy, had some aptitude, english and coding programs. Then we were shortlisted for TECHNICAL interview round, in which I was grilled by the person taking my interview. He asked me about the trending technologies, like Big data, AI, Data mining and made me write three programs of Linked Lists, implemented using C++. I was then shortlisted for the HR round, in which I was asked basic questions about family, relocation, work shifts etc.

      Application

      I applied through college or university. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Cognizant (Chennai) in Sep 2024

      Interview

      There was a coding round and I selected Python as my preferred coding language but on the assessment day, they switched mine to Java. They did this to most of my other classmates too. This seemed unfair and illogical.

      Question 1

      The question was irrelevant to my tech stack
