I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Cognizant (Chennai) in Sep 2011
Interview
HR was cool; He asked about my schooling and present gpa. Technical questions base on my areas of interest. Programming based questions and location constraint as well as domain constraint.
Two interviews with coding test and and aptitute test , pretty easy , aske about projects done and java oops questions also sql question , position was full stack developer
We had many rounds like 3 rounds before interview and interview was quite good. I got selected into cognizant as and programmer analyst trainee. I did not focus much on java, so due to that i Got 4 lpa
They asked very basic questions of reversing a string java basics and sql introduction and asked some data structures concepts finally few hr questions so on finally interviewer looks very strict interview got rejected
