I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Cognizant (Pune) in Dec 2011
Interview
Registered on cognizant career page and receive hall pass when they were conducting recruitment.There were three stages for recruitment first was written test which comprised of verbal and aptitude,second was technical interview in which they focused on final year project and last was HR interview in which they asked basic questions like intorduce yourself etc...
Two interviews with coding test and and aptitute test , pretty easy , aske about projects done and java oops questions also sql question , position was full stack developer
We had many rounds like 3 rounds before interview and interview was quite good. I got selected into cognizant as and programmer analyst trainee. I did not focus much on java, so due to that i Got 4 lpa
They asked very basic questions of reversing a string java basics and sql introduction and asked some data structures concepts finally few hr questions so on finally interviewer looks very strict interview got rejected
