I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Cognizant (Calcutta) in Sep 2012
Interview
I was selected via campus Interview. The interview was very easy. It was for about 20 minutes. During this, the interviewer asked me about myself, basically my project. He asked me to implement linked list. Then about some operating system questions and some compiler questions; all of which were quite easy. Then some chit-chat.
