Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The students who clear the written round are called for Technical Interview. There is no hard & fast rule for which questions will be asked in this round, you can expect questions on any topic depending on the panel. To clear this round you should be clear with your basics. You should be prepared with Data structures and Algorithms, DBMS, Operating systems, Networking, OOPs concepts and a programming language of your choice. Students from branches other than CS should prepare for the other two subjects related to their branch. CS students will be expected to write codes in the interview. They also ask questions from resumes. You may be asked puzzles in this round. To be prepared for puzzles you can practice from our Puzzles section. Sometimes they only ask HR questions like : 1. Tell me about Yourself 2. Why Cognizant? 3. How do you see yourself after five years from now? 4. What are your strengths and weaknesses? 5. Questions form resume
