The assessment test being conducted on personal device was a bad idea. Despite ensuring compatibility of the device, it lagged due to network issues and the secure browser they use for remote assessment logged me out more than once. That significantly reduced the time I got to solve the questions.
I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Cognizant (Calcutta)
Interview
Cognizant’s interview process involves an online assessment, technical interview, and HR round. Candidates are evaluated on programming basics, communication skills, project understanding, and adaptability. Technical questions may include OOPs, DBMS, and basic coding. HR questions assess personality, teamwork, and relocation flexibility. Non-CS students can succeed by showing a strong willingness to learn and clear understanding of their academic projects. Confidence, clarity, and honesty are key to cracking the interview.
