Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Case Study Interview
Experience: It involved
assessing how I approached the problem, which particular questions I
will ask the owner, what will be the level of granular detail collection
with every step. The interview round went on for 20 – 25 minutes
and interviewer wished me luck for further rounds.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: more focus was laid on my prior work experience. Within 2 minutes of my first round, I was called for next one.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: This was
with a Delivery Manager who asked me no technical questions. Seemed more
of a personality interview.
The informal discussion lasted for 10 minutes & at the end, manager smilingly welcomed me to Cognizant family

Round: Stress Interview
Experience: Last but not the least, it was HR round. He read through my application
form and queried about location constraints. I readily convinced him on
my willingnesss, still it felt like a Stress interview. He informed me
about the other joining formalities and confirmed the offer.
Parts of the Interview I did well at :
Cracking round 1 was the key to get selected in CBC. Maintaining
self-composure and properly listening to the questions before answering
anything sailed me through.Parts of the Interview I didn’t do well at :
HR round went in a bit of hurry. I think it was meant to be that way.Final Verdict : Offered Consultant role at Cognizant Business Consulting

General Tips: This was my very first shortlist during finals and I was all the more
nervous of cracking this one. The actual process started before the
company was on campus. They had a online video interview asking
questions like ” What are your strengths & weaknesses?” to be
answered in a minute. It was an elimination round as campus round
shortlist was reduced to almost one-third.
Do not take video interview round lightly. Many of my peers mistook it
to be a non-elimination round and missed on the opportunity of sitting
through campus rounds.
