I applied through university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Cognizant (Chennai) in Jan 2019
Interview
I attended Cts on campus drive in collge. The first round was an aptitude round and it was pretty easy. They asked 3 prigrams at the end and only the 3rd program was difficult, other than that it was easy to clear. The second round was technical HR round and they asked me to write a code using arrays and i was tested on my knowledge on linked lists and tree nodes etc. Once you pass the second round the third round is just a formality.

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.
