The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Cognizant (Pune)
Interview
After clearing a written test which consisted of Quant and Logical Reasoning questions,
I was interviewed by two senior Cognizant employees. They asked questions which tested my knowledge in my field of Engineering. Also, asked me the reason to be part of Cognizant - I shared the details about the company profits that year and its exponential growth and work culture as the main reasons. Interviewer gave a firm handshake towards the end and mentioned results will be out soon. I felt it was an easy going interview.I was one of the 3 students selected from my engineering class of 90 students.
I applied through college or university. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Cognizant (Noida) in Dec 2013
Interview
I was selected from Campus placement in 2014 from Amity University.
Round One:
Aptitude test conducted by Amcat, which consists of two programming questions along with objective questions.

Started with basic questions involving background, education, interests. etc.
Then pure technical questions from computer science.
Final Three: (Only after clearing first two rounds you are allowed to sit for this one)
