I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Cognizant (Pune)
Interview
Day 1
1)first round will consist of simple aptitude test..
2 or 3 passage questions , simple grammar , synonyms and antonyms
Day 2
At first there will be submission of your respective copy of the documents and you will be allotted a token no
2) Next will be the technical interview
As I was from a ECE background, mostly questions were on my projects both mini and major. But still I recommend do prepare the concepts of data structures
Also remember guys your communication skills are important here too.
(they'll ask u to wait , then after that they announce the results )
3) finally the HR round
All the best guys .stay confident, dat was my first and that is what I learnt.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1) simply questions will be based mostly on your resume if something were interesting.
2) as I mentioned of my non-IT background they asked me the reason of me choosing an IT company. ( Guys do prepare on these sort of questions, I wasn't prepared bt I managed it quite well)
3) And do ask them a question when they ask you to.. search over internet you'll find some and then do listen to their answers.
The interview was primarily technical, concentrating on C#, .NET, SQL, and API concepts. Questions tested understanding of core principles and practical application. The process was straightforward, professional, and focused on technical depth.
I applied online and got a calll back, had 4 rounds in total. first was a behavioral phone call just casual talks about your skills and when can you start working and general questions, then two coding rounds in hackerrank - was asked to code in java although the job was for python and finally HR.
I applied through other source. I interviewed at Cognizant (Pune) in May 2026
Interview
Interview process was straight forward. Two technical Interview L1 and L2 rounds happened. L1 was easy with basic java questions. But L2 was the actual interview. They were asking every concept very deeply.
