I applied through university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Cognizant (Vellore) in Nov 2012
Interview
It a simple and nice criteria for entry level freshers. It has a basic aptitude test and then two rounds of interview. Both technical and HR interview are equally important.
Two interviews with coding test and and aptitute test , pretty easy , aske about projects done and java oops questions also sql question , position was full stack developer
We had many rounds like 3 rounds before interview and interview was quite good. I got selected into cognizant as and programmer analyst trainee. I did not focus much on java, so due to that i Got 4 lpa
They asked very basic questions of reversing a string java basics and sql introduction and asked some data structures concepts finally few hr questions so on finally interviewer looks very strict interview got rejected
