I applied through university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Cognizant (Hosūr, Tamil Nadu) in Mar 2012
Interview
I had two rounds. Written and Technical round. Technical round was easier than the written. Written test had some analytical and some comprehensive questions. The technical round was full of Database and C related questions
Introduction

2 Coding Questions

Question on Java and SQL Spring Boot and Other programing related questions like hashing map vs hash table why they are used
It was three round interview with written test and 2 easy interviews. One technical and one with HR for compensation discussion. All were conducted on the same day. In order to get selected need to stand out and answer uniquely.
