I applied in-person. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Cognizant (Calcuta) in Jun 2010
Interview
It was a walkin interview in Kolkata location. It was a project requirement and you have to match to their required skills that they use in their particular project. Basic knowledge or overall experience is not all that they want.
