I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Cognizant (Vellore) in Sept 2012
Interview
I am a final year student at VIT University, Vellore. CTS came to our campus for recruitment this year and under a scheme called Topper Shopper it waived the written test for candidates having more than 75% in 10th, 12th and UG. The interview was cool, only asked questions related to my areas of interest I mentioned in my resume. It lasted for about 10 minutes. My advice for the interview is that answer confidently, because if you are a non-IT guy, in all probability the interviewer knows lesser about your subjects, than you do.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I would say an unexpected question was whether I had any joining location constraints.
I applied online. I interviewed at Cognizant (Chennai) in June 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.
