I applied through university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Cognizant (Gharuan) in Sep 2015
Interview
It was fairly easy. An aptitude test consisting of sections of english, logical and quaant. After that, the students were called for technical interview, followed by an HR round. since mass recruitments were going on, the process was very easy to get through.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Technical: Basics of C,C++, language for summer training
HR: preferences of location
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.
I applied through other source. I interviewed at Cognizant (Pune) in May 2026
Interview
Interview process was straight forward. Two technical Interview L1 and L2 rounds happened. L1 was easy with basic java questions. But L2 was the actual interview. They were asking every concept very deeply.
