      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through college or university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Cognizant in Jun 2008

      Interview

      there was an aptitude test on the first day , which consisted of standard questions . clearing which , I had the group panel interview on the next day. They tested me on a wide range of topics , inculding electronic circuits ( I don't know why they wanted that knowledge for a software engineer). It also inculded behavioural questions . I was offered the job on the same day. Overall it was a very good experience and should be a moderate interview for a person who is strong in basics of his studies.
