I applied through university. I interviewed at Cognizant (New Delhi) in Feb 2019
Interview
The Interview process was simple direct interview and HR after you cleared their test. Each round is elimination so the technical is all your luck and hardwork. First youve to clear the test online which has aptitude and automata fixing in which you have to write logic or fix error in codes after you will got interview call then the HR so this is the simple procedure they follow.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The questions were easy like they ask how to print a string then enter spaces between a string then they switch to project discussion which was brief. So basically they ask simple questions on programming and dbms which I declined as i dont have mention it my resume.
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.
