I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Cognizant (Bengaluru) in Oct 2014
Interview
Easy Interview Process compared to other companies.
Questions based on basic data structures, algorithms, problem solving and SQL.
Interview also depends on the interviewer. Gone through 2-3 rounds of process which contains 1-2 tech rounds and 1 HR round.
Interview was done via campus selections. Overall a good experience for a fresher.
Will be easier if you belong to NON IT background.
