I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Cognizant (Bengaluru)
Interview
The Cognizant recruitment process typically follows three stages. They are Aptitude test, Technical interview and HR interview.
Aptitude Test: This is an MCQ-based test and is divided into three sections namely Quantitative Ability, Logical Reasoning, and English Comprehension.
Technical Interview: This round focuses on the job profile and evaluates the programming skills of the candidate. Having proficiency in one of the coding languages like C, C++, Java or Python, etc, is a must. Candidates should also have basic awareness on contemporary trends like AI, Big data among others.
HR Round: This is the final stage of the interview process. The purpose of this interview is to assess your personality, background, fit with the company culture, salary expectations, etc.
Great interview experience. The interviewers were friendly, professional, and supportive. Whenever I couldn't answer a question, they patiently explained the expected approach and concepts, making the discussion comfortable, informative, and encouraging throughout.
