I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Cognizant (Chennai) in Oct 2008
Interview
Off campus as well as on campus interviews takes place. On campus interviews usually as written test round,group discussion round (optional as it depends the strength who passed for wriitten test) and finally an interview ie., both technical and HR interview will be there. Off campus is via CTS employee referral or via CTS website. It also has the same rounds depending hte number of applications and the nature of the job.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Logical reasoning questions in the form of stories are usually the most unexpected ones..wherein they try to understand how you will handle an unexpected situation if it arises..How you take the situation in the story they say and how you'll handle is all that matters...
