I applied through college or university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Cognizant (Chennai) in Feb 2016
Interview
Interview process was moderate. Four rounds were there. 3000 guys were participated, since it's an Anna University Off Campus (TNSLPP). First one was Group Discussion where about 30 got participated and 30 got selected as well. Then we had gone through aptitude. It was quite moderate. At last 1st day was over with 2300- got rejected in the online test. On 2nd day there was around 700+ who were competitor for me. I was so excited. Still there is a lot of chances to get place. Third round was technical. I'm the last one in the entire interview so you can realize how would i feel. So nervous and totally blank. The technical questions were quite tough but still i managed. Final round was General where i speak irrelevantly. Still i laugh now if i think about my final round.Two days were so awesome and most memorable days and moment in my life. At last I'm into Cognizant.
