I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Cognizant
Interview
It was a nice experience and technical interview was quite a tiring experience. The technical round was strictly based on department knowledge as well as project. They also tested my logic building approach which was based on my language preference. The hiring process is quite slow and I am still waiting for my joining.

Round 1: ONLINE TEST
The platform of the test was AMCAT, one of the platform that many companies uses for their recruitment process. Lucky for me as I was completely aware of the pattern that AMCAT follows. Its an adaptive test which means your current question decides your upcoming question. Either the level decreases if current question is answered incorrectly or the level get increased is answered correctly.
These were the following sections asked in the Paper
Quantitative – 14 Ques – 16 mins.
Verbal – 25 Ques – 22 mins.
Logical – 16 Ques – 14 mins.
AutoFix – 7 Ques – 20 mins.
Many of you might be thinking of what is AutoFix. AMCAT mainly uses Automata but there is AutoFix too. The question in AutoFix consist of logical and syntactical errors present within the given code. Its like the executable code is given with error present witthin it. You just have to figure out the error and boom its working fine. The question in the section are quite and easy and requires basic knowledge of programming and logic building.
