Ask me any doubts, I took part in the placement drive recently on 3rd October 2025

Overall Experience: ⭐⭐✨
A good experience overall — only the technical round felt a bit tiring. The interviewer was polite, calm, and guided well throughout. All interview calls were received in random order via Superset, and my Technical Interview lasted around 30 minutes.

🧩 Round 1 – Aptitude + Communication Assessment

Difficulty: Easy
✅ Aptitude section: Basic quantitative and logical questions.
✅ Communication section: Grammar, sentence correction, and listening comprehension.
➡️ Nothing tricky — just stay calm and focused.

💻 Round 2 – Technical Assessment

⚙️ Sections:

SQL (2 Questions) – Easy, both related to Date functions
Java (2 Coding Questions):

HTML / CSS / JS (3 Small Questions) – Basic level, mostly syntax or output-based.

🧠 Round 3 – Technical Interview (30 mins)

Ensure stable internet and be ready anytime (Superset order is random).

✅ Final Thoughts

The experience was smooth and fair. The interviewer was genuinely interested in understanding my logic and not just the final answer.
If you’re preparing for Cognizant GenC or GenC Pro, focus on clarity, fundamentals, and confidence — that’s what matters most.
