I applied through college or university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Cognizant (Madras) in Sep 2011
Interview
Consisted of aptitude tests on day 1 ,which was moderately difficult and one to one interview on day 2 ,for which we had to wait almost half a day for our turn .The PI went for 40 minutes and the HR mainly asked technical questions but, was very friendly .
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
they were more interested in the logic of the program than the coding , which is really logical and accepted ..not really difficult according to me .
Two interviews with coding test and and aptitute test , pretty easy , aske about projects done and java oops questions also sql question , position was full stack developer
We had many rounds like 3 rounds before interview and interview was quite good. I got selected into cognizant as and programmer analyst trainee. I did not focus much on java, so due to that i Got 4 lpa
They asked very basic questions of reversing a string java basics and sql introduction and asked some data structures concepts finally few hr questions so on finally interviewer looks very strict interview got rejected
