I applied through college or university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Cognizant (Chennai) in Jan 2015
Interview
I had a 40 min long interview with the technical panel and a 5 min interview with the HR. Both were pretty easy, its not the stuff they look for it just how confident you are that will fetch you a job there.
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
