I applied through college or university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Cognizant (Noida) in Oct 2014
Interview
The process consisted of aptitude test followed by technical interview and hr round. Aptitude test was conducted by aspiring minds and consisted of English, Verbal and Quant. The next day, technical interview was conducted in which questions based on OOPs, DBMS and projects were asked. HR round was a mere formality.
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.
I applied through other source. I interviewed at Cognizant (Poona) in May 2026
Interview
Interview process was straight forward. Two technical Interview L1 and L2 rounds happened. L1 was easy with basic java questions. But L2 was the actual interview. They were asking every concept very deeply.
