More Cognizant interview experiences
“I was weak on the API part so all else went well except that. Be good at RAG and AI agentic and AI systems. Also be good in web development (APIs, AWS deployment)”
“The Process was easy, even though I am in my final year of B.Tech. I would say basics from multiple domains or tech stacks are enough to get into Cognizant for freshers.”
