I applied through university. I interviewed at Cognizant (Coimbatore) in Oct 2020
Interview
Cognizant came to our campus this year for the hiring process. It was a 2 day long process i.e First day(Online test) and the Second day(Technical and further HR). Trust me, there was a huge of competition among the candidates. The criteria that they had set was 60% throughout(Including 10th, 12th and degree). Relaxation of maximum 1 years within academics was entertained, with no active backlog in any subject among all semester. Joining was in the next year i.e July-2019. Package was 3.38 Net-gross(In hand). There were almost 2000+ candidates those were meeting the eligibility criteria so there was a massive amount of competition. The post that they were offering was Program Analyst. Pretty decent position to start your career in such a big multinational company. Cognizant is one the company and provides its employee with a great amount exposure but at the same time it needs your dedication and hard work as well. I also didn’t know what to study for the online test, there came Prepinsta in the role.The website if sufficient to big you the pattern it helped me a lot.
