I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Cognizant in Jul 2021
Interview
Was asked a few questions about how I would approach basic tasks like splitting a string or doing aggregations. A few questions were about weirdly specific library methods. I believe I recall there being a really basic question about sql joins in queries.

I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Cognizant (Pune) in Aug 2025
Interview
My interview experience was insightful and professional. The panel focused on technical fundamentals, problem-solving, and practical applications. I felt confident discussing my projects, and it was a great learning opportunity.
It was moderate for me. At first there will be communication test in online where we did it in our home. Then the shortlisted students are sent to technical round which is offline. We had to do it in College. We didnt get to choose the cluster. I was not shortlisted for further rounds.
