I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Cognizant (Chennai) in Jan 2009
Interview
Recruitment was on-campus.. After a round of aptitude test, results were published later in the day, and called for an in-person interview within 2 weeks time. Interview was fairly easy, as long as communication was clear & confident.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
There weren't any unexpected questions. As long as the applicant prepared the usual interview question responses, (s)he should be fine.
