I applied through college or university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Cognizant (Hyderābād) in Sep 2018
Interview
The hiring process consisted of three rounds
1. Aptitude round
2. Technical round
3. HR round
1. Aptitude round- it consisted of quant, logical and english based questions. Amcat is the vendor for it.
2. Technical round- mostly based on your projects. A question or two on coding in C. And any question from the content in your resume. As im from ECE, i was asked what else technologies i know other than what was taught in the curriculum. Prepare well about the projects you have done. You can do well if you are well prepared.
3. HR round- general questions about you and questions anywhere from your resume. The interviewer is just seeing how you respond, so tell confidently.
