I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Cognizant (Hyderabad) in Sep 2025
Interview
The interview process was largely uniform for candidates. From the morning sessions, I observed that many candidates were asked basic questions such as finding a factorial, reversing a string, and answering fundamental SQL queries.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
In my interview, the discussion directly moved to a coding task where I was asked to implement a Binary Search Tree in Java. Although my preferred and more comfortable programming language is Python, the programming language was randomly allotted by the company, and Java was assigned to me.
Lenient and hassle free, includes a coding round and HR/Manager interview round and basic questions regarding relocation and stuff. Psychometric tests are also conducted. Coding rounds are comparatively easier than other companies.
