I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Cognizant (Calcuta) in Oct 2012
Interview
Written aptitude test followed by personal interview. There were too many MCQs to be completed on time. The trick is to answer all questions as there is no negative marking. I chose option C as a guess and it worked. The interview was 15-20 mins long. It started with HR questions like tell me something about yourself and then the interviewer asked me to write a small C code. The interview ended with the question why do you want to join this company.
