I applied through other source. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Cognizant in May 2025
Interview
I cleared aptitude and coding rounds. Aptitude had basic, easy questions. In coding, I chose Java. Faced 2 SQL, 2Java, and 1 HTML-CSS-JavaScript combined question, solved successfully. It is kinda logic based question also.

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.
3 rounds of interviews with a technical interview. The technical interview involved questions on Java and sql. They were mildly difficult. The first 2 rounds were not so difficult, lots of situational judgement questions
