I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Cognizant (Hyderābād) in Nov 2013
Interview
1st round Aptitude and English test, 2nd round Technical interview and finally HR round. 1st round was simple - basic knowledge in maths is sufficient. Technical interview was taken around 45 minutes with C programs and some core technology questions. HR is for namesake and so no worries. On request Interview date can be changed for freshers too .
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Interviewer asked me to rate myself in technical skills and prove your rating. More c programs and some technology related questions.
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.
I applied through other source. I interviewed at Cognizant (Pune) in May 2026
Interview
Interview process was straight forward. Two technical Interview L1 and L2 rounds happened. L1 was easy with basic java questions. But L2 was the actual interview. They were asking every concept very deeply.
