I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 6 days. I interviewed at Cognizant in Sep 2014
Interview
Interview process was not that difficult.
First round was a technical discussion
Second round was a technical test(machine)where they provide a template and we need to design it.
Third round was again a technical discussion which was more on the core
I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Cognizant (Chennai)
Interview
I was selected as fresher. Interview will be simple for fresher as of my knowledge. They will look into your logical thinking. they may ask you question and ask you to resolve by any programming language you know. its actually good.
Interview questions [1]

I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Cognizant (Gurgaon, Haryana) in Feb 2015
Interview
Crap is the word to desc the interview experience. They had called around 100 of candidates for interviewing and had only 4-5 HR whio kept running around and didn't know what they were doing
A person who had arrived at 9 am in the mornibg had his first round of interview at 2:00 pm. They wanted all the candidates to die of boredom.
They made us sit in the cafeteria for hours and didnot keep tab of the sequence of the arrival of candidates. The ones who came late had their interviews done first. I mean we must be fools to reach there on time.
The interview was just ok. The interviewers who took first round seemed to be too young and freshers themsleves. They dressed too tooo casually and looked really shabby. The ui questions asked were too easy.
Hr lost profiles of the people and never called them gor interview. There was a so called machine test that took 1 hour and had only 5-10 seats . People were waiting on queues yo take that machine test.
Last but not the least they called us telling that the job location was gurgaon and after all the hassle we took it was for Bangalore location.
I wasted my saturday on such a stupid thing.i would never go to cognizant even if they offer 10 times my current ctc.
