I applied through university. I interviewed at Cognizant (Coimbatore South) in Mar 2019
Interview
Written, followed by face to face technical HR .
Written test includes basic aptitude question a d verbal questions, mostly asked from online websites.
We were asked to solve / predict answer for some c program snippets.
If you are in touch with aptitude and your verbal is good, then you will be most likely get into the company.
But, there are no gurantee, for your location of preference.
The interview focused heavily on my projects, asking about design decisions, challenges, and real-world use cases. I had to explain my thought process clearly. It was a practical and insightful experience that tested genuine understanding.
