I applied through university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Cognizant (Chennai) in Aug 2011
Interview
Interview was simple.My very 1st question "tell about yourself". Since I had electronics background he asked very basic questions in that field. Just full form of LED, draw it , show which is anode and cathode.
Then he asked question in c, i was told to write a small program and explain it.
It was so easy.
Then details of final year project. My final question was what is cloud computing.
Interview was stress free.
