I am Shreyas Ram R. I attended the CTS off-campus conducted at RNSIT on 3rd October 2010 through cocubes and conducted by merittrac. Before attending that, I had gone through the candidate experiences here and it really helped me. The written test pattern was changed this time and it contained analytical reasoning and verbal reasoning only. There was no quantitative aptitude this time but time management is very very important here. Please take care of that. Also, be careful while filling the form before written test. It consisted of questions like strengths, long and short term goals with cognizant etc. Then results were declared after a week. Then technical interview was held at cognizant, Manyata Business park on 17th of October. Technical and HR interviews were separate.

 

For technical interview be thorough with what you have mentioned in your resume because they are going to ask very basics questions from that itself and if you have mentioned any programming languages, be prepared with simple programs. If you cant write program,at least know the logic,usually they ask only for logic. Also, be prepared with your project. If you clear technical interview, you are 99% selected.
