I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Cognizant
Interview
It was mostly resume based with majority questions focused on my basic knowledge about my projects, tech stack used and programming knowledge.
Also interview included basic coding question such as fibonacci.
It was fairly smooth process. I think as fresher they look for person with good communication skills, willing to learn new things and adapt to new environment. I went through campus placement also I know people who went for offline placements. I heard the same. Have good vocabulary, good elevator pitch. I had an internship with cognizant at the end I had an interview with a manager, then they put me in a project and gave me full time offer. The interview after internship was technical ( syllabus from the internship). Before the internship, I had 2 rounds. 1) online test - the classic one 2) Hr- This is where you have to show you are willing to learn and adapt .
