I applied through university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Cognizant (Coimbatore) in Sept 2019
Interview
First level of filtering was through online exam and a coding round( debugging to be exact) , We felt that it was quite tough for a mass recruiter level . out of 900 students around 250 were shortlisted for next round. For the 2nd round it there were 35 interview panels where 20 was technical panel and rest were hr panel. students were according sent to each panel . after my interview was over, from others performance I understood that it was pure luck which panel your allotted to. Regular HR questions were asked to me .

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.
