I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Cognizant (Bengaluru) in Nov 2021
Interview
Interviews were scheduled via Superset.
But first an online assessment has to be taken. Upon clearing intimation for TR will be received.
Topics covered in TR were OOPS, basic programming questions( in my case it was "write a program to check if a string is palindrome in any programming lanuguage) easy to moderate aptitude questions, emerging technologies( I was asked about Electric vehicles) and core questions( related to the discipline in Bachelors)
Below is the interview flow model,
online assessment>>TR>>Document Verification
I cleared my TR interview so the next step was document verification. Documents like 10th and 12th marksheet, aadhar card, pan card, B.Tech semester marksheets were asked to issue during the call.

Topics covered in TR were OOPS, basic programming questions( in my case it was "write a program to check if a string is palindrome in any programming lanuguage) easy to moderate aptitude questions, emerging technologies( I was asked about Electric vehicles) and core questions( related to the discipline in Bachelors)
The interview process consists of an initial introduction where the interviewer provides an overview of the role and asks questions about the candidate's background, experience, and interest in the position. This is followed by a technical interview focused on Python and data management concepts, including SQL, data manipulation, and basic problem-solving. Candidates may also be asked to discuss previous projects and explain their approach to solving technical challenges. The interview concludes with an opportunity for the candidate to ask questions about the team, role, and work environment.
Interview Round - questions regarding my tech and hr questions
The interview process included an initial screening, followed by technical and HR rounds where my skills, problem-solving ability, communication, and cultural fit were evaluated.
I completed the first round successfully. The difficulty level was moderate to difficult, and it tested my problem-solving, technical knowledge, and time management skills effectively. Needs good coding knowledge and presence of mind.
