I applied through other source. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Cognizant (Calcutta) in Jan 2014
Interview
I gave AMCAT in October 2012 and got an interview call from Cognizant this year in January on the 27th. My interview date was set on 29th January, 8 am at Kolkata IT Park Gangapur.
First, our xeroxed documents were arranged and then we were called one-by-one for the interview. It was a one-to-one season.
There was no GD.
Questions asked:
1. Introduce yourself
2. Why did you apply to this?
3. C program to swap digits of a number ex. 64 to 46
4. What is sampling?
5. Difference between microprocessor and micro-controller
I was able to answer the electronics parts but was stumped on the C program and the first two HR questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why did you apply to this? Being an instrumentation engineering student, convincing the interviewer why I wanted to get into the IT industry was hard.
