I applied through college or university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Cognizant (Bhopal) in Sep 2016
Interview
Cognizant Technology Solutions came to my college during the campus recruitment process.
the first round was written consisting of apti, reasoning and english. I cleared the written and was calld for the interview. The technical interview was on IT and all the subjects i studied during my curriculum..
he asked me about my fav subject. then asked me questions on it. then the interviewer jumped out of everything in my cv and asked me about subjects that were not mentioned in my CV.
then he told me he was done. and i went out nd was asked to wait.
aftr 10 minutes the result was declared and
i cleared the tr round and was called for HR.
the hr was quite friendly. She asked me about the whole family background. If i had any relocation problems or not.
she wanted to know if i had any problem in joining any location or not..
if i had any health issues or not..
she looked quite positive and impressed .. i was told i was selected ..
All u need to do is be confident..
All the best..
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.
