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

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
