I applied through university. The process took 8 months. I interviewed at Cognizant (Hyderābād) in Oct 2022
Interview
It's not that much difficult just to be good with u r basics and thorough with your academic projects along with your academics starts with self introduction then projects then your technical skills they will ask basics from programming languages and sometimes they ask to write code of smaller programs
The interview was primarily technical, concentrating on C#, .NET, SQL, and API concepts. Questions tested understanding of core principles and practical application. The process was straightforward, professional, and focused on technical depth.
I applied online and got a calll back, had 4 rounds in total. first was a behavioral phone call just casual talks about your skills and when can you start working and general questions, then two coding rounds in hackerrank - was asked to code in java although the job was for python and finally HR.
I applied through other source. I interviewed at Cognizant (Pune) in May 2026
Interview
Interview process was straight forward. Two technical Interview L1 and L2 rounds happened. L1 was easy with basic java questions. But L2 was the actual interview. They were asking every concept very deeply.
