I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Cognizant (Pune) in Sep 2010
Interview
Received an email saying that I was selected for interview. They were having by-invite job fair. I went through 3 face to face interviews, 2 technical and 1 HR. First interviewer asked about J2EE concepts, asked me to write code for Java beans. Also, asked about JDBC concepts, creating data connection and lookup etc.
Second interviewer asked about Core Java concepts, serialization, Inline classes, marker interface etc.
Certifications mean a lot to them, asked me if I have got any certification (Java, Oracle etc).
The process went on whole day. Couldn't even get lunch in between.
Had to wait a long for HR interview.
Got offer 2 days after interview.
