I applied through university. I interviewed at Cognizant (Erode) in Aug 2025
Interview
The interview process started with a communication round focusing on verbal speaking and listening skills. Then we underwent an 8-week Digital Nurture 4.0 training where we learned technical concepts and uploaded assignments to GitHub. After that, an MCQ assessment was conducted based on the course content. Finally, a technical interview was held at our college where questions were asked on Core Java and projects mentioned in the resume.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They mainly focused on Core Java concepts such as OOP principles, collections, and basic exception handling. They also asked me to explain the projects mentioned in my resume and questioned what I learned during the Digital Nurture 4.0 program and how I implemented it practically.
It was good interviewer was very kind and chill
But I'm from python background
The interviewer was from java background so that's why he told me this role is for java developer only
There will be two technical interview rounds, with the first one primarily focused on assessing my expertise in core Java concepts, including object-oriented programming, collections, multithreading, and exception handling, while the second round will dive more into the full-stack side, covering my experience with backend frameworks like Spring Boot, frontend technologies such as React or Angular, database integration, API development, and overall system design capabilities.
