I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Cognizant (Bengaluru) in July 2012
Interview
Initial telephonic round in which all your technical skills were tested. Then there was a panel video discussion for over 2 hours and then an HR round. The questioning was in depth on all your technical skills and can be answered only if you had hands-on practical knowledge. The testing of the various concepts in both technical and management were asked.
