I applied through university. I interviewed at Cognizant (Hyderābād) in Nov 2024
Interview
As a fresher, I found the interview was well-crafted according to my skills and experience with projects throughout college. HTML, CSS basics, simple coding questions in any language of choice, explaining projects that I did and HR questions were a part of my final interview.
Some of my friends had questions of varying difficulties depending on the interviewers available in panels that day. For example, some were asked aptitude questions and some were asked to implement semaphores, multithreading concepts in Java.
Now in June 2025, I'm waiting for SL engagement to happen after my training/internship is over.
