About This Job
Cognizant, one of the largest IT services companies operating in India, is hiring data analysts in Bengaluru — and unusually for a full-time role, final-year students can apply alongside recent graduates. The work is the core of data analysis: collecting and cleaning data, finding patterns, and turning numbers into reports and insights that business teams act on. Cognizant serves banking, healthcare, retail and other industries, so analysts get exposure to real client data problems early in their careers. The posting is live on Cognizant's official careers site (Job ID 00070260513).
Who Can Apply
- You are a final-year student, or a 2025, 2026 or 2027 graduate
- Your degree can be B.Tech / B.E., B.Sc., B.Com, MCA or an equivalent qualification in any stream
- You are comfortable with numbers, spreadsheets and logical thinking
- You can work from Bengaluru
Salary Check
Cognizant has not disclosed a salary on the official posting. Data analyst is a fresher role with strong demand, and your exact package will be in the offer letter — compare offers on the fixed in-hand figure, and remember that analyst skills (Excel, SQL, dashboards) compound quickly in value over your first two years.

What Happens After You Apply
Expect an aptitude and data-interpretation assessment, then interviews where you may be given a small dataset or a chart and asked what you see in it. If you know Excel well, revise pivot tables and lookups; if you know any SQL or Power BI, even from a course, put it on your resume — for this role those are the skills that separate shortlists.
Stay safe: genuine employers never ask candidates to pay money for a job offer, training or equipment. If anyone asks you for a fee in the name of this job, it is a scam. Apply only through the official listing linked on this page.
