I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Cognizant (Chennai) in Oct 2022
Interview
My interview experience was quite positive and stress-free. The questions were mostly easy and centered around the details in my resume, such as my academic background, internships, and technical projects. The interviewer asked me to explain the technologies I used, my role in each project, and the challenges I faced. There were no unexpected or tricky questions. It felt more like a friendly conversation than a formal interview. They seemed more interested in understanding my practical experience and communication skills rather than testing deep technical knowledge. Overall, it was a comfortable experience.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
logical,analytical and technical questions like aptitude,reasoning and programming languages
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
