I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Cognizant (Chennai)
Interview
They had 3 assesment before the interview. Communication, Aptitude and Coding. After all this assesments, if we are shortlisted, then comes the interview process. The interview was neither easy nor difficult. They asked me a bunch of basic to intermediate questions regarding python, sql and cloud fundamentals.
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
