                        I had given interview on[protected] and then from Cognizant HR mail me and asked me about documents required as well as I filled CIS form and send back to them. Then HR was saying within 2 Days we do HR discussion then we can release your offer letter.

                        But since then Even I am sending mails and call that HR she is not responding at all.

                        I just want to know other process will going to happen or not. If you are hiring someone please provide them details.
                        Cognizant is been such an unprofessional organization They let fresher's wait for more than 2 years on the name of business requirement I request strict action should be taken against this organization for wasting time and life of fresh joiners

                          2. This amount should be paid only after you receive your interview call-letter for attending selection-process. This call-letter you will be receiving directly from company people. You will be receiving your interview call-letter via email and this email you will be receiving from www.cognizant.com itself.

                          3. As I told earlier I will sending papers for your selection-process only after this payment is being done.

                          4. As I mentioned above you will be receiving your call-letter directly from company people. This way you will be secured that you will be attending process with company. This will be the security which you can have from me.

                          Let me clear ur doubt about why to pay initial amount of 4000/- rs.

                          I mentioned clearly above about my role and my assistance. After receiving your interview call-letter for your selection-process. When you attend the process you need to see that you should perform up to min % required which I mentioned earlier. In any case if you fail to do so then will loose my effort and also loose one position on my behalf. By saying this I do not comment on your potential. This is towards my security.

                          TOTAL PAYMENT:

                          1. Total payment will be three times of per month salary.

                          2. Salary package will be 4lkhs per annum from which Monthly Gross salary will be 33k and after tax deductions from company you will be receiving monthly 29k in your hand.

                          3. You need to pay me 60, 000 after getting into company.

                          4. This 60, 000 has to be paid in ten equal installments that 60, 000 / 10 = 6, 000 per installment.

                          5. Each installment has to be paid from your respective salary which will be as follows.

                          From your first month salary – first installment of 6, 000

                          From your second month salary – second installment of 6, 000

                          From your third month salary – third installment of 6, 000

                          From your fourth month salary – fourth installment of 6, 000

                          From your fifth month salary – fifth installment of 6, 000

                          From you sixth month salary – sixth installment of 6, 000

                          This way up to ten months

                          This way you’ll will be having your job security.

                          Now let me inform that In worst case if there is a failure. Yes I will carry your process towards other companies if there is failure.

                          First let me inform you failure can be either from your side or from my side.

                          YOUR SIDE: You have not performed up to min % which is required by me.

                          In this stage I will process your resume towards other companies for which you need not have to pay me 4000/- rs for each and every company.

                          FROM MY SIDE : You have performed up to or above min % required and even after that you have not been appointed with company. This will be failure from side.

                          In this stage I would definitely return the INITIAL AMOUNT which U have paid to me. Also If you feel you can continue with me then I will be processing your resume towards other companies.

                          Now I hope ur clear with both payments.

                          TIME CONSTRAINT:

                          If you are ok with both payments then we should see that process is started 1-2 days. Upon starting process I like to see that you get maximum time for preparation so that we can have better results.

                          MY PERSONAL DETAILS:

                          I was an employee with Career Dot Com recruitment firm in Bangalore & Chennai.

                          Right now I have left that forum because of some personal problems.

                          As because of my earlier work atmosphere I’m able to handle things with said manner so that I can look upon people getting recruited.

                          Also I have received your resume from People Technologies Bangalore.

                          Also I'm having following resume o[censored]r's which I'm attaching with my mail.

                          Note: Finally if you are ok with my process ( along with payments of both initial and total, process dates ) reply me along with your latest updated resume along with your contact no.

                            Hi Team,

                            My name is Bablu Yadav working as System Engineer in Tata Consultancy services for past 5 years.
                            I have did my 12th class with Science stream, graduate in BA and did MCA .
                            Recently a verh worst experience i had with cognizant
                            1 . 1st Feb a Consultancy called me and asked my profile, the profile was relevant and then given my reference to Cognizant.
                            2. 2nd feb i get a call fron Cognozant HR and they schedule my face to face interview on yth feb 2021
                            3. 6th feb 2021 i given my interview interview face to face online through webex.. I had met the requirement for one the post Talend Admin.
                            4.On 15th i received a confirmation mail from Cognizant that i have cleared the managerial and technical round .. they have attached a CIS from which i need to fill and submit to HR.
                            5. I have submitted on 6th feb 2021 and on 17th feb 2021 i received a call for HR discussion..everything was going as per the schedule expectation. Wven the job location and salary discussion has also done
                            6. Then she said you did graduation through BA however i explain each and every thing that i have more technical deegree n diploma as well NIIT, Azure 900 Certification, MCA, Oracle Certification and C++ Certification as wellbut she was only concerned on Graduation.
                            7.after sending 2, 3mail on mo day 22nd Feb 2021 she responded with the answer you are not fulfilling Cognizant Candidature Policy
                            8.I just want to ask if Cognizant gives preference to qualification over skills.?
                            9. I did a mistake to took BA after my 12th which was from science with 70 aggr in PCM.
                            10. Hope candidate having good skills but not having B.tech or B.E should not dream to work in cognizant

                            Feedback Company should encourage people based on their skill.

                                I got placed in Cognizant technology solutions Genc test in my campus placements. I'm from Ramrao Adik Institute Of Technology, Navi Mumbai. I had received selection list on 20 December and their after in got CDS or Internship choosing options from my Placement cell. As my college didn't allow internship due to regular academic lectures we opted CDS, but their after NO one from our college received OFFER LETTER or any confirmation mail from cognizant. We are now thinking wheather we are going to receive offer letter or not.
                                Please atleast send us official mail that you got selected. Or give use date, when we will expect offer letter.
                                Please have a look because almost 70-80 students are in hope?

                                  Hi

                                  Iam unlable to select the radio-button of the offer status form in pre-joining formalities.Due to this technical issue I can't accept my date of joining . I have tried to accept the offer by using different browsers till 18th of August, as my joining was on 19th August. I have also mailed to " [protected]@cognizant.com " and described the whole issue by using screenshots. But haven't received any emails yet. Here I am again disclosing the screenshots of sent mails (to [protected]@cognizant.com) regarding the problem .It has been 5 months from my DOJ and C2c is not responding for my DOJ. And now I'm unable to login into the one cognizant external portal as well. Sharing all screenshots regarding the same.And try to resolve the issue as soon as possible. I haven't tried for any another company and still waiting for your response but, I haven't received any emails and any other response yet and hoping for issue to be resolved. Now I'm unable to login into my one cognizant external portal as well.

                                  Thanks and regards

                                      Hi

                                      Iam unlable to select the radio-button of the offer status form in pre-joining formalities.Due to this technical issue I can't accept my date of joining . I have tried to accept the offer by using different browsers till 18th of August, as my joining was on 19th August. I have also mailed to " [protected]@cognizant.com " and described the whole issue by using screenshots. But haven't received any emails yet. Here I am again disclosing the screenshots of sent mails (to [protected]@cognizant.com) regarding the problem .It has been 5 months from my DOJ and C2c is not responding for my DOJ. And now I'm unable to login into the one cognizant external portal as well. Sharing all screenshots regarding the same.And try to resolve the issue as soon as possible. I haven't tried for any another company and still waiting for your response but, I haven't received any emails and any other response yet and hoping for issue to be resolved.

                                      Thanks and regards
                                      R Tanveer Razaq
