I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Cognizant (Madras) in Oct 2022
Interview
My interview experience was quite positive and stress-free. The questions were mostly easy and centered around the details in my resume, such as my academic background, internships, and technical projects. The interviewer asked me to explain the technologies I used, my role in each project, and the challenges I faced. There were no unexpected or tricky questions. It felt more like a friendly conversation than a formal interview. They seemed more interested in understanding my practical experience and communication skills rather than testing deep technical knowledge. Overall, it was a comfortable experience.
