I applied through college or university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Cognizant (Chennai) in Feb 2015
Interview
It consisted of 3 rounds of interview. The First round was the Aptitude round, where the basic Mathematical Skills and Logical Reasoning was tested. Second was Technical Interview , where I was shot with all the technical stuff and the last round was the general interview which was all about the body language and conduct of the candidate.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
As I am from Chennai they triggered the question " Are you willing to work in places other than Chennai ? "
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 (Pune) 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.
