I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Cognizant (Coimbatore) in Sep 2015
Interview
Interview went smooth. One technical and one HR round took place. Basic questions were asked during the interviews such as what is kernel and explain polymorphism and so on. We were also asked few questions about the company itself. The interviewer concentrated mainly on OOPS concepts and DBMS concepts.
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.
3 rounds of interviews with a technical interview. The technical interview involved questions on Java and sql. They were mildly difficult. The first 2 rounds were not so difficult, lots of situational judgement questions
