I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Cognizant (Mumbai) in Jul 2021
Interview
After appearing for online test assessment I got an interview mail after 10 to 15 days.
It was only technical interview:
I was asked to introduce myself, then a pseudo code ,mostly database question like what is normalisation,DML,DDL , some queries and some basic data structures questions like what is link-list, pointers.
Lastly I was asked about my project and any questions for the interviewer. The whole interview process took half an hour.

It's basically of easy to medium level difficulty and one who has good and consistent knowledge of dsa and oops, can easily clear the interview in my opinion but make sure you also study about system design and spring boot
I was great, they asked medium to difficult level questions related to java and python, it was conducted in campus, so I was less nervous compared to other processes, hence it was not one of the best but i was a good interview
