Hello Friends,
I would like to share my interview experiance in Cognizant.
Myself Ramana Reddy MCA-2010, I appeared for CTS Off campus recruitment on 16th Janunary, MLR Engineering College, Hyderabad. The Aptitude paper was little bit easy and little bit hard.
Total question: 55
Total marks: 55
No negative mark, but sectional cut-off is there.
The exam consists of two sections.
1) Analytical Pattern:
Figure sequence (very easy)
* Syllogims (easy)
* Puzzle test (easy but time taken take care about time here)
* Coding decoding (very easy no preparation required)
* Data interpretation (Difficult)
* Data sufficiency (logical thinking apply here)
* First complete coding, decoding, fig sequence and then follow remaining.
Note: In this section we have to secure min 16 marks for qualifying, otherwise may be disqualified.
2) English:
Two passages (one easy, one difficult) (10 marks).
Sentence formation (5 marks).
Pick Correct, Incorrect sentences from a list.
Note: In this section we have to secure min 12 marks for qualifying, otherwise disqualified.
After 30 mins they collect the first section paper (analytical) and give second section paper(English).
First section kills time, you can't even study the whole paper unless you are quick enough results will be with in one day. I got the mail from Cognizant on that day at 11pm.
