2025 graduate fresher, applied via on-campus hiring Roles Offered GenC – ₹4 LPA GenC-Pro – ₹5.4 LPA GenC-Next – ₹6.75 LPA Recruitment Overview Process Initial Screening Technical Interview

Round 1 Initial Screening The process started with resume shortlisting, followed by an initial assessment that consisted of three rounds: Communication Round Aptitude Round Technical Assessment In the technical assessment, I faced: 2 SQL-based questions 2 coding questions (related to the CyberSecurity cluster I had selected) 1 web development-related scenario Scoring well across these rounds led to my shortlisting for the interview stages.

Round 2 Technical Interview Duration : 30 minutes Mode : Online (Cognizant’s proprietary virtual interview platform) Cluster Chosen : CyberSecurity The interview began with identity verification and environment checks. It was conducted over a secure video platform with screen sharing enabled throughout. Questions Asked: What does public static void main mean and why is it declared that way? Difference between ArrayList and LinkedList Interface vs Abstract Class – when to use which Java program to add elements to an ArrayList and remove duplicates Several follow-up questions from the content of my resume Basic understanding of AWS services like EC2 and S3 Concepts related to TCP/IP networking model Questions on availability to join by a certain date and readiness to relocate Final Outcome The interview process was smooth, and I managed to answer most of the technical questions confidently. Although I didn’t receive the final offer, the experience prepared me well for future virtual interviews.
