I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Cognizant (Jalandhar, Punjab) in Nov 2025

Cognizant interview process includes online aptitude and technical tests, followed by technical interviews assessing programming, problem solving, and fundamentals, then an HR interview evaluating communication, cultural fit, career goals, and readiness for project based corporate work environments, ethics, professionalism.
The interview process was well organized and structured, conducted on a separate platform featuring built in coding sections, eliminating the need for external tools or reliance on any online compiler.
