I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Cognizant in Sep 2025
Interview
Cognizant’s interview process is generally smooth and beginner-friendly. It includes an aptitude test, a technical round focusing on Java, OOPs, SQL, and projects, followed by an HR round assessing communication, confidence, and basic behavior. Overall, supportive and straightforward.
