I applied through university. I interviewed at Cognizant in Sept 2021
Interview
First we had an exam in which there were several sections, aptitue, computer science, then there were 2-3 coding questions, then 1 Sql question on joins, then the next round was technical round, they asked 2 easy coding questions, 2-3 theoretical questions about threading, call by reference and value, and then they asked 2 aptitude questions.
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.
