I applied through university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Cognizant (Pune) in Sep 2015
Interview
I appeared for Cognizant when it had come to my college during the placement season. As it was the first company to come in my college , I took it pretty seriously. The recruitment process consisted of 3 rounds. First was the aptitude test (quant,logical,verbal) , then the technical and HR interviews were conducted on the following day. The aptitude was not difficult. The HR personnel was really pretty and friendly.

In technical interview they ask you to introduce yourself and depending on the way you answer the interview flows. They ask about your project and seminar.
