It was a campus placement event by Cognizant. I had cleared the aptitude test and was thoroughly prepared for the interview. I was made to first appear for a technical interview. The interviewer was very casual and made me feel at ease. One thing I would like to note is that the process and the people were extremely professional and there wasn't a hint of carelessness. Coming back to the technical round, I was first asked to introduce myself. He then asked me about my final year project which I narrated briefly. He seemed satisfied. After this, I was then asked to draw an ER diagram depicting the project scope which I drew correctly. He then asked me to briefly discuss normalization. It seems that after the interview, the staff had a brief discussion and I was selected for the HR interview. The HR interview was something extremely interesting. A senior manager was the one who interviewed me. He asked me to introduce myself as well. Afterwards, he asked me to briefly describe my hobbies. Incidentally, one of my hobbies was reading about pre-World War II Germany which it seems he was himself extremely aware of himself! He asked me about the various important dates, battles, treaties, political system and so on. I did say a few incorrect things which was negligible. He then asked to see all my certificates and mark sheets. Consequently, he asked me about my backlogs. Luckily, I did not have a live backlog which was an advantage. Finally, he asked me whether I had any queries. I took this opportunity to say a few things about Cognizant which I guess impressed him. That was all, and I am waiting for the short list to come out so fingers crossed! I would like to take the chance to say that the process was very professional and Cognizant did not display the slightest hint of intimidation and I would also recommend this company to all interested freshers!
