I applied through university. I interviewed at Cognizant (Pune)
Interview
Following an aptitude test, there were subsequent interviews: first, a technical assessment, then a managerial/ HR evaluation. The technical interview covered OOPS concepts and previous projects, while the managerial/HR interview focused on situational questions, strengths, weaknesses, and cultural fit/
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Questions about OOP principles such as inheritance, encapsulation, polymorphism, and abstraction. Sorting methods.
Discussion about your strengths, skills, and qualities that make you a good fit for the role, as well as areas where you may have opportunities for growth or improvement.
The interview was primarily technical, concentrating on C#, .NET, SQL, and API concepts. Questions tested understanding of core principles and practical application. The process was straightforward, professional, and focused on technical depth.
I applied online and got a calll back, had 4 rounds in total. first was a behavioral phone call just casual talks about your skills and when can you start working and general questions, then two coding rounds in hackerrank - was asked to code in java although the job was for python and finally HR.
I applied through other source. I interviewed at Cognizant (Pune) in May 2026
Interview
Interview process was straight forward. Two technical Interview L1 and L2 rounds happened. L1 was easy with basic java questions. But L2 was the actual interview. They were asking every concept very deeply.
