I applied through university. I interviewed at Cognizant (Chennai) in Oct 2022
Interview
My interview experience was quite positive and stress-free. The questions were mostly easy and centered around the details in my resume, such as my academic background, internships, and technical projects. The interviewer asked me to explain the technologies I used, my role in each project, and the challenges I faced. There were no unexpected or tricky questions. It felt more like a friendly conversation than a formal interview. They seemed more interested in understanding my practical experience and communication skills rather than testing deep technical knowledge. Overall, it was a comfortable experience.

Question 1

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.

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.
