There were 3 rounds conducted as part of the selection process.
First round was written which was conducted in one of the engineering colleges in Pimpri, Pune. The questions were normal and if you are good with R.S Agarwal, then cracking this round is not a big deal.
For the next round , i was invited at the cognizant's hinjewadi office where the technical round was conducted. The questions were asked basically from my college project and the basic questions of Oops and sql.
