I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Cognizant (Sat home) in Nov 2021
Interview
Written test with quantitative and verbal questions followed by a technical interview(that I just gave a few minutes prior to writing this). Well it was more of a aptitude/programming test
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1. Tell me about your projects
2. What is your major(i said electronics and communication engineering)
3. What is the difference between GSM and CDMA?
4. What programming languages are you comfortable in?
5. Write a program that takes an input n, and outputs the pattern:

......(till n)
6. How would you switch values between two variables without using a third variable.
7. Have you worked on the latest trends like IOT/ ML?
8. Three simple math problems from i.) Algebra ii.) Probability iii.) Profit/Loss
9. Do you have any questions for me?
It's basically of easy to medium level difficulty and one who has good and consistent knowledge of dsa and oops, can easily clear the interview in my opinion but make sure you also study about system design and spring boot
I was great, they asked medium to difficult level questions related to java and python, it was conducted in campus, so I was less nervous compared to other processes, hence it was not one of the best but i was a good interview
