Cognizant Interview Experience

Hi Friends

I am Kiran completed B.tech this year(2010). I have attended CTS Interview last month.
Let me tell you the selection procedure.

There are 3 rounds
1) Written Test
2) Tech Interview
3) HR

Written Test is quite simple. They conducted test on reasoning and english, NO Quants at all. So just prepare english and reasoning.if you are good at those two then no need to prepare you can easily clear.

After that you will be having tech and hr round both will be on the same day.

i attended my interview at VBIT park, Hitech City at around 2 pm

i have waited for 3 hours to get my turn

let me tell you wat happens in my interview

Me: Good afternoon sir
int: gud aftrnnon kiran please take ur seat
Me : thank you sir
int: (he is just watching my resume and the form i filled at the time of my written test)
int: ok kiran how is ur day today
