I applied through university. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Cognizant (Phagwāra) in Sep 2013
Interview
Very first was written test which was basically a test called AMCAT. After the amcat test they shortlisted students for technical interview. In technical interview they asked questions from c and c++. I am from ECE background so no questions from other core CSE subjects. Then there was HR interview which includes some typical easy questions.
It was held on superset platform where they asked about basic OOPS concept,palindrome code and sql related questions which were answered well by me and got offer letter after some days ,it was smooth process and interviewer was also very cooperative
Easy aptitude and communication rounds and Easy and clear interview with basic oops concepts and programming questions and easy to clear the interview and good opportunity to get an offer with basic concepts
Just, simple..coding questions in strings and arrays(frequency of letters in the string ,even and odd into new list).moreover 1,2 sql queries about 2nd max,3rd max in the table and Some basic cloud based questions
