I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Cognizant (Coimbatore) in Oct 2011
Interview
The interviewer was friendly. He actually listened to my self-introduction until I completed. . Actually it was not like I am attending an interview. Coming to the tech questions
1. write the coding for displaying the numbers of an array in descending order ?
2. what is the use of Dijkstra's algorithm ?
3. what is a deadlock ?
4. what is a semaphore ?
5. what is an index ?
