I applied through university. I interviewed at Cognizant (Noida)
Interview
My college has provided this opportunity for off campus drive. Being a fresher I was quite nervous about this.
First they took an online AMCAT exam consisting of:
1. Logical Reasoning
2. Mathematical
3. English Grammar
After this there was a coding question.
This was the first round after that I was selected for next round i.e., technical interview.
In techincal interview, they asked me questions related to: Computer Networks, Algos and DS, OS, one coding ques to write infront of them (I have been asked to write a piece of code for reversal of a number.).
So basically they were testing in all the major subjects and how you are giving answers to their questions.
I applied online. I interviewed at Cognizant (Chennai) in Jun 2026
Interview
only one round of technical interview for senior position, and hr execution was not proper, they didn;t connect when needed and no proper negotiation of salary either since shortlisting for interview
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.
