Hi All,
Recently I gave a written Test To Cognizant. I will tell u My experience with
Cognizant. the selection process consisits of two Rounds.
1. Apps( verbsl,maths,reasoning questions...etc) Meritrac Conducted the first
round. around 5000 Took up the Test. 1200 got short listed for the second round.
Everybody used to think Once if we clear first round in CTS we r 90% through.
i was also thinkind like that. But here my bad time starts. My interview was
scheduled at 3.30 pm on next day but mrng itself i went. due to the lack of
time my interview got postponed. If it had happend at the scheduled time I
would have gone through becoz Tech and HR was separate.But next day they
Combined that. Don think when they combine it is easy. when they combined the
process you will not be asked HR questions. The lesser the HR questions the
Lesser the Chence to get through.
I went inside the panel around 10... I came out arounnd 11.15.... I was
having consistent 85% from 10th std.... in my engg also i got 85%...
Me: Hi, Good mrng!
Int: Good mrng! So u r venkatesh,
Me: Yes sir!
Int: Can i Have ur mark list.
Me: ya sure.
Int: Tell me any three fav subjects

the above three which i have specified.

Int: Ok give me an example of how this project works in ,He told project

five software process models what would be the output?
Me: I explained my level best.
Int: R u comfortable with C or C++?
Me: C++
Int: He started asking questions
Me: i answered in OO approach But he tole answer me in Structure Approach.
This went for 15 min's
Int: Tell me one more Fav subject
Me: S/w Testing
Int: Ok Venkatesh
ME: Smiled
Int: Why CTS? (As my round has benn changed to HR+Tech) He aske that only
one quest
Me:Answd
Int: Ok you may go
After two days I got the Result.
I was not able to clear the Interview. But one thing I am sure, if u have
lesser HR questions it means u will not be selected 75%.
I was having one arrear in my first semester but cleared in 2 nd semester.
Even though I was having 85% I was not able to explain them taht i have
cleared it on my next semester becoz there were no HR questions.
All the Best Friends...... GOD Bless you!!!!!!!!!
