Cognizant Software Developer interview questions

Cognizant visited our campus for recruitment. There were 3 rounds for the process. 1st round was an AMCAT based online aptitude round, which had 25 questions from English. 16 questions from quantitative, and 14 questions from logical. Quantitative was lengthy, given that all 16 had to be solved in 16 minutes. Even questions from Work & Time, Pipes and Cisterns were twisted and required quick calculation skills. 180 were shortlisted for the Technical Interview rounds. Students from CSE were being grilled on projects and technical knowledge ranging from OS, Software Engineering to DBMS. Students from ECE were being asked questions related to printing different patterns of stars, and projects. Students from Mech were being asked basic array and String related questions. I being from CSE was grilled on DBMS based questions which also involved writing a Self Join query. Then I was asked questions on my projects, achievements and why would I want to join CTS. In the HR round, I was asked if I was okay to relocate to a position of their choice, and to tell any moment where I thought out of the box. I was also asked if I would leave the job at CTS, if I get an offer from a company offering a better pay scale.

1st round was F2F with Account Manager involving a brief tech skill-set evaluation, followed by general discussion of the job role and the company culture at large. 2nd round was a recruitment drive with many other prospective candidates, where I met with 2 engineers for a more thorough tech skill-set evaluation, followed by 1 round with HR executive on behavioral evaluation, past experience sharing and getting to know more about the company's business activities in general. Remuneration package was great, medical coverage was great, leave entitlement was unfortunately below average (I later researched about leave entitlement for the first 5 years of service in a typical U.S. company, and concluded it as a difference in corporate culture). Package entailed a few more out-of-the-norm conditions that I was not comfortable with, so I eventually declined the offer.
