I applied through university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Cognizant (Coimbatore) in Nov 2015
Interview
It was really awesome. People who came for recruitment motivated us . We had written test in the morning. And later the results were announced by evening. Then the next day interview process were held. First round was technical and next round was HR. One who clears the first round moves to HR. After few day the final results were published.
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.
3 rounds of interviews with a technical interview. The technical interview involved questions on Java and sql. They were mildly difficult. The first 2 rounds were not so difficult, lots of situational judgement questions
