I applied through college or university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Cognizant (Madras) in May 2009
Interview
There was a skills test on the first day and those who cleared the test were called for interview the next day. The interview was pretty straight forward. There weer two people in the panel that interviewed me. They asked me questions related to Data structures and algorithms, Operating Systems and DBMS. There were also a few competency questions like why do you want to join Cognizant. are you willing to relocate to any part of the world if given an offer etc.
Smooth interview process as well as it was very interesting with ample feedback at the end. I enjoyed the conversation a lot and coverted the interview and accepted the offer.
