I applied through college or university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Cognizant (Chennai) in Sep 2014
Interview
Aptitude Round( easy one, but speed is a must) Technical Interview( was from my specialization, basics of C and C++ ) HR Interview( was a very good and interesting, more of a casual chat)
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
A thorough knowledge of one's course is a must. Basics programming skills, at least the logic if not the syntax is required.
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.
