I recently applied for the role of Engineer Trainee at Cognizant Technology Solutions through Superset1, a platform that automates campus placements1. After applying, I was shortlisted for an aptitude test. Upon clearing the aptitude test, I advanced to the technical interview round. This round involved basic technical, behavioural, and HR-related questions. The entire process comprised 3 to 4 rounds, each designed to assess different aspects of my skills and qualifications. It was a comprehensive assessment of my abilities and potential fit with the company.
