I applied through college or university. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Cognizant (Bhubaneshwar) in Sep 2014
Interview
hiring process comprised of 3 rounds.The first round was written round which comprised of questions based on aptitude,logical reasoning and english. The test was conducted by amcat.The process was a campus recruitment process.Aptitude questions were easy.RS Agrawal would be enough to prepare.The interview was splited into 2 parts technical and hr.
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
