I applied through university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Cognizant (Chennai) in Aug 2015
Interview
I applied through my college. It was a 3 stage process. 1.aptitude round
2. Technical
3. Hr
Aptitude was easy, try solving AMCAT papers.
In technical round they expect you to have basic knowledge of programming. So you gotta have it.
In hr round, they ask you basic hr question.
It's pretty easy just focus on programming and what you put up on your resume
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.
