I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Cognizant (Calcutta) in Sep 2011
Interview
My interview experience was really good, it was a 1:1 interviewer and it started with a small introduction of myself. The interviewer asked questions from C, DBMS, Data Structures and SQL. I have to give a brief description about my projects both academic and industrial. Apart from that he also asked about my hobbies and personal interests. The whole interview took around 30 minutes and at the end I was confident that I will get the job.
