Hi Friends,
I would like to share my interview experience with Cognizant.
Myself G Parmesh B Tech-2010, I had appeared for CTS Off-campus recruitment on 5th February, 2011 at MLR Engineering College, Hyderabad.
The Aptitude paper was easy but is time consuming.
Total question: 55
Total marks: 55
No negative marking but there is a sectional cut-off.
The exam consists of two sections.
1) Analytical Pattern:(30Q)
1) Figure sequence
2-4) Syllogisms
5-9) Data Sufficiency
10-13) Puzzle Test
14-17) Coding decoding (Pattern some what different from previous papers)
18-23) Figure Sequence
24-28) Data interpretation
29-30) Data sufficiency
Minimum : 50% i.e, 15+
2) English:(25Q)
1-3) Pick 2 Correct Sentences from 4 Sentences
4-8) Passage1 Regarding "Nelson Mandela" (Got In my Paper but there are 4 sets)
9-13) Passage2 Regarding "Fossilized remains of pterosaurs" (Got In my Paper but there are 4 sets)
14-15) Pick Incorrect Sentences
16-17) Pick Correct Sentences

After 30 mins they will collect the first section paper (analytical) and give the second section paper(English).

Results will be displayed in cognizant website i.e., Login with your Application ID and DOB regularly and check status. Me waiting 4 the results.
