I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Cognizant (Bengaluru) in Jun 2025
Interview
2 Online Assessments : Communication and Technical within 3 days.
Online Interview was scheduled 2 weeks after the Technical Assessment with a prior notice of 3 days.
The Interview was easy, i answered over 80% of questions and even solved the Question but did not receive the offer.
The initial process went smoothly, but the interviewer who took my interview came with the intention to not hire. Asked all not so fresher friendly questions. After the interview, they didn't even mail regarding the verdict.
There are two interviews for students who have been cleared communication and technical assessment. One is AI-Bot Interview which is Very easy and has fixed questions. After clearing this interview there is next interview which is technical + HR..
