I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Cognizant in Feb 2019
Interview
First they had the online auto proctoring test then after shortlisting they call for the technical and the hr interview. If you're a fresher then you must know about your project details. They might ask you to draw the algorithm or circuit diagram(only if circuit branches), then they may ask from your Resume. Be careful that if you know a concept and you're confident about it then add it in your resume otherwise don't do because if they found that just to attract you have mentioned means there are chances for rejecting you. After the technical round I had my HR round in that he asked simple questions only.
