I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Cognizant (Bengaluru) in Jul 2011
Interview
First of all a written round is conducted...It has normal aptitude questions and if you try even a bitt harder and full concentration, it is easy to crack this round. The next round is Technical round, as a fresher they dont expect you to be a hard core programmer or something like that, just try to brush up ur basics of C, C++, SQL and Data structure. They may ask you a simple puzzle, which is not that tough to crack if given some attention.
