The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Cognizant in Dec 2010
Interview
A written verbal and Quantitative round followed by a one on one interview. The written round has no negative marking. So attempt all questions. The quantitative section is simple. The Verbal section can be tough for some.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Cognizant (Madras) in Jan 2010
Interview
It was really excellent. More organized and scheduled interview. HR people provide due respect to candidates. They take care of providing lunch if the interview takes more time.
