I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Cognizant (Nāgpur, Maharashtra) in Sep 2025
Interview
There was only a single round of interview, and the overall difficulty level was quite low. The questions were straightforward and well within the expectations for an entry-level engineer, making the interview easy to crack with basic preparation.
