I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Cognizant (Noida) in Sep 2016
Interview
My interviewer was very patient. I think it all depends on your luck. At first she asked me to describe myself. Be prepared to speak 2 minutes speech for that. Then she asked me about my project which i described very well. I suggest to keep your CV very minimal as it helps to answer very efficiently. My CV contained only one page like C++ and my college minor project was mentioned in it.(ONLY TWO THINGS GUYS). My extracurricular and sports certificates were in bulk in my portfolio file for which she asked me some questions. Then some tech questions were asked as below.
Interview questions [4]
