I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Cognizant (Calcutta) in Feb 2009
Interview
It basicallly had a IQ/Intelligence test which was used mainly for screening out candidates.Immediately followed up by a 1:1 interview that lasted half an hour.Purely technical interview.
Two interviews with coding test and and aptitute test , pretty easy , aske about projects done and java oops questions also sql question , position was full stack developer
We had many rounds like 3 rounds before interview and interview was quite good. I got selected into cognizant as and programmer analyst trainee. I did not focus much on java, so due to that i Got 4 lpa
They asked very basic questions of reversing a string java basics and sql introduction and asked some data structures concepts finally few hr questions so on finally interviewer looks very strict interview got rejected
