I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Cognizant (Vellore) in Sep 2013
Interview
The process started with their presentation and they had provided the written aptitude round waiver for the students having >75% and/or >7.5 CGPA academic consistency and for others there was a written round which mainly focussed on aptitude-verbal,logical reasoning & quants.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The interview started off pretty well with 2 members in my panel,they asked about myself and asked me tell more about my place,they were mainly checking my communication skills.Then they moved on to my project and were asking me to explain more about it..they seemed very interested in my topic..it was a hardware and software integration one which included use of microcontrollers..they asked me to write down the code of my project(just a few main functions and snippets), they asked what software engineering principles i had applied in my project,
The interview went for about 20 minutes.
I applied online. I interviewed at Cognizant (Chennai) in Jun 2026
Interview
only one round of technical interview for senior position, and hr execution was not proper, they didn;t connect when needed and no proper negotiation of salary either since shortlisting for interview
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.
