I applied through college or university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Cognizant (Dehradun) in Oct 2016
Interview
First it was a test set by AMCAT, then if you clear it you have to face a technical interview and finally HR interview. In technical interview, the interviewer was more likely to look on the skills where you are strong want to know about that.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Mostly questions from your project work and the technology you have learnt.
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.
3 rounds of interviews with a technical interview. The technical interview involved questions on Java and sql. They were mildly difficult. The first 2 rounds were not so difficult, lots of situational judgement questions
